Looking thru the RT2400 and RT2500 datasheets, I notice that on pp. 12 of the 2400 datasheet, CSR8 bits 0 and 1 are described. On the same page of the RT2500 datasheet, CSR8 bits 0 and 1 are not described. If that is not a typo, that means to me that on the RT2400 you can mask off beacon timer and wakeup timer interrupts with CSR8, but on the RT2500 you cannot. Would it be possible to verify with Ralink that this is not a typo in the RT2500 datasheet? Thanks, -- Bryan - "Beyond the point of no return, there's no going back."
