Hi,

Same situation here, also got rt61pci.
I found a temp. fix to this on 3.2.x kernels:

1) Download compat-wireless (I've tested with compat-wireless-2012-01-26.tar.bz2)
2) Unpack
3) edit config.mk file and change these two lines:
-----
# CONFIG_RT2X00_DEBUG=y
# CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS
-----
to these:
----
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS=y
CONFIG_RT2X00_DEBUG=y
----
4) then do make and sudo make install
5) unload all current loaded wireless modules (or reboot)
6) modprobe rt61pci

wlan0 will appear again.

Don't know why wifi is working only with DEBUG enabled for those modules.

Cheers

Deal.
