Subject: status of rt2870 support

Hi,

I downloaded the compat-wireless-2009-12-03 and tried it on my d-link rt2870 usb dongle.

After doing a ifconfig up, I start a scaning.
And the scaning show weird stuff :
- there is lot's of "IE: Unknown". [1]
- not all AP are showed. Even those with very good signal.

Is that normal ?

Expected. You probably want to use 'iw' instead.

Probably a bug.
