There is a patch available at:

Was this patch applied upstream yet?

I've looked into a CVS daily tarball http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz and verified that the patch is now included.

The CVS tarball contains a few more improvements as well, and I recommend that we take copy and use that instead of just applying this patch.

Since 2 weeks I use cvs tarball, and I haven't observed any problems.
Anyway, the Beta version available in portage cannot be compiled wit kernel 2.6.16 (at least in amd64) anymore.
