Well I have been shouting for ages that more help is needed on the rt2x00 drivers.

Since there is only 1 developer for all rt2x00 drivers, and that person can't spend
too much time on those drivers because of work etc., the total development hours/week
for the drivers is low.

so each bug needs to be prioritized before time is spend time on it. And bugs like
 "I can't associate to an AP using rt2500pci" and "Where are the rt2800pci/usb" drivers",
simply have higher priority then "I have to issue a 'iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M'"
