What I did;
I changed the SD card to point to an USB root filesystem (changed cmdline.txt, replacing root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 with root=/dev/sda2)
Copied a new image to 2 different USB sticks...
One of them (USB#1) would have the std AP configuration
The other one (USB#2) can be configured for Client mode
With the changed SD card, the RPi will boot always from the USB stick. If you insert USB#1, will boot in AP mode; if you insert USB#2, will boot in Client mode
I don't know if this is useful, but works for me... At home I use USB#2; away I use USB#1

Cheers.

God I love open source, where one can look up answers. You can have multiple APs or multiple STAs (clients) running at the same time but not a combination thereof (rt5370 code):

        case NL80211_IFTYPE_AP:
                if (rt2x00dev->intf_sta_count)
                        return -ENOBUFS;

What version did you test it on? Maybe it works now with trunk? At least there is a patch for it.
I don't have a dongle with that chip to test though.

On Attitude Adjustment. It might work on Barrier Breaker but I haven't put any work into migrating to that yet because it's a pretty big change.
