This has been asked to Ralink, and they have promised they will do so,
currently their open source code for RT2800 also contains references
to mac80211, but this seems to be a hook into cfg80211 only.

So for now, all we have is the promise from Ralink that future Ralink
drivers will be mac80211/rt2x00 based. Obviously I will have to see
some proof before I really believe it. ;)
