(looks like you guys had some fun discussing things while I was away earning my money ;-))

Anyway, Helmut is right here. The correct check to make is to see if the chip
has identified itself as an RT2872.
However, based on the Ralink source-code I saw, there is more that we need to do, i.e. in
the RF CSR initialization space. Also, a lot of the default BBP CSR values are different
from the other RT chipsets.

I'll cook up a patch to properly add RT2872 support to the driver.
