In short: A stable workable driver.

The rt2800usb driver is pretty far (at least on my testsetup), but
still has problems with transmitting frames immediately after
association.

As for rt2800pci that card still refuses to anything. The MCU registers
simply refuses the initialize, the TX and RX refuse to do anything.

I have some help from Ralink on this, as well as some patches from
others which have been merged. But I lack the time to really dive
into these issues. I don't get much further then a guick glance every
few days.
