Hi Hackers,

Just a quick heads up:
I'm working on a new driver for MT7662E/MT7612E, written from scratch.
It is already able to bring up the firmware, init the MAC and do basic
TX/RX DMA communication with the firmware.
I've decided to not integrate it with rt2x00, because I want to avoid
dealing with the the unnecessarily convoluted abstractions and legacy
code in there. I believe the result will be simpler and easier to
maintain as a new driver.
As soon as the basic structure is in place, I will put it on a public
git tree and post a link here.
