Subject: rt2x00: Add rt2870 device id

Hello,

Dvico ships WiFi usb keys with some of their tvix hardware. The vendor
id is related to dvico and not known from the rt2800usb driver. The
chipset is found to be a rt2870. You'll find enclosed a patch to handle
theses usb keys. I've tested it on a vanilla 3.0 kernel and the key is
recognize and working perfectly.

Sincerely

Anthony Bourguignon

Please read and follow the instructions in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
There are several things wrong here including no "Signed-off-by" line and the
patch should be in-line, not as an attachment.

For wireless devices, the patch should be sent to John Linville
<[email protected]> with the mailing lists as Cc.

Thanks for posting this info and good luck with the patch preparation.

Larry
