Well, when I was looking into this I came up with a number of issues in the code
which makes me believe that it simply isn't working at all.
One example is that the rt61pci devices rely on handling the wakeup interrupt
by the driver to wake up the devices. As far as I can tell there is no handling
of the wakeup interrupt in the rt61pci driver.
That's why I decided to disable it all together, as I don't think it works
properly for anyone (although some people may not really notice it).
