I've been monitoring the community's work for the rt3070 chips and especially your recent success towards improving the driver.
I would like to share something with the rt2x00 development team which may or may not be known.
The rt3070 card I own fails to initialize with the latest (working) compat-wireless release. When I plug the USB card, rt2800usb doesn't automatically load and when I manually modprobe the driver it does not recognize it as well.
Looking in to the rt2800usb.c file I found the 'problem'. The VIDs aren't properly set. Mine shows 148f:3070. Although a line is included in the "#ifdef CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT30XX", the module won't initialize the card.
I fixed the problem by adding my device here:
/* Ralink */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x148f, 0x2770), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt2800usb_ops) },
{ USB_DEVICE(0x148f, 0x2870), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt2800usb_ops) },
/* Samsung */
which now looks like:
/* Ralink */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x148f, 0x2770), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt2800usb_ops) },
{ USB_DEVICE(0x148f, 0x2870), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt2800usb_ops) },
{ USB_DEVICE(0x148f, 0x3070), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt2800usb_ops) },
/* Samsung */
This pertains to the rt3071 as well.
Regards.
