If I remember correct for SLE11, that was from MediaTek-Ralink, they

I have not tested as my hardware has not been delivered, but I have
the driver building with current wireless-testing source. I also
have created a proper Makefile.
Yes, merging the changes into rt2x00 will be a hassle.
We usually we look at vendor driver and write new code to rt2x00 based
on that. For example, I did that for RT5592, Gabor for RT3593. In
oposite to cleaning up vendor driver in staging, it require lot of more
work, but also guarantee that we will have clean and maintaible code.
That is what I plan on doing. This driver is already mac80211 based, thus I see
no benefit in going to staging. You will have plenty of opportunities to review
the code before it is submitted.
