OK, I renamed the driver, then rebooted and modprobed rt2800pci. This
had the "nice" side-effect of kicking the other laptop off the WiFi, and
I couldn't get it to associate.
rmmod -rv rt2800pci followed by modprobe -v rt2860sta got me a Kernel
Panic. When the laptop rebooted, the BIOS threw up this warning:
INFO [CHIPSET]: A HyperTransport Sync Flood event was detected on the
last boot. Press F1 to continue booting.
Rebooted, renamed rt2860sta back and re-blacklisted rt2800pci, and now
my WiFi is working again.
