(Get the code!)
Any word from the vendors on this bug? AFAICT Ralink are the ones who hired the staff engineers to work on Linux drivers, so maybe they should work on this.
What is the general process for getting new hardware supported? Unless Ralink/Linksys release open documentation on their chipsets, it is not realistic to expect that the community at large will implement a driver for this. We need the support of the companies peddling these chips.
Is there any way to get Canonical to engage Linksys or Ralink asking them to help us?
Also, the rt2x00 project seems to support rt2870 chips now with the rt2800usb driver. I'm not sure of the extent of modification to that driver that would be needed to support this card, if it's even a true rt2870; but it seems like any company or individual who possesses the hardware documentation and a kernel hacker would be able to get this going. That could be Canonical if they pulled the right strings.
