hmm ok so with rt2800 blacklisted the sta connects but does not work...hmm some were a bit touchy about the kernels built on and the version used...one of those crapshoot moments. I found similar behaviour with 4.12 and a rt3370 device... for that only the older sources would make a working driver...but on a similar release kernel the later one was ok...my conclusion is that it relies on certain kernel configs that may or may not be enabled.

The rt2800 driver on the later puppy will most likely have had support added ...this is usually the case as open source drivers lag behind due to having to design them or even reverse engineer
