Hi David,

This seems to be caused by the rt2x00 driver not properly declaring its alignment
maneuvring space properly, and thus it doesn't leave enough headroom left for
copying to the monitor interface.

Can you check whether the attached patch fixes the issue for you?
Note: patch looks a bit bigger than it actually is due to indenting cleanups.
