These files aren't used by the Ralink drivers. So why should you

Because the hardware manufacturer says that:

Anyway, the firmware in staging(or ralink web) drivers look different because
they are different _versions_ of the _same_ firmware.
rt2870.bin: before 4096 bytes, now 8192 bytes.
linux-firmware is not *actively* maintained; it requires people to send
submissions (repeatedly...).
On 04/06/2010, *ONE YEAR AGO* , I sent a patch to rt2870.bin rt2860.bin.
It went to /dev/null
A similar patch was sent by the *driver maintainer* on 10/30/2010.
It went to /dev/null
The same patch was sent by the *hardware manufacturer* on 03/11/2011
It went to /dev/null
Torvalds, Mozart and God are pending.
I think there may be a problem with distribution of Intel Pro Wireless
firmware because Intel requires users to accept a EULA.
If it's included in Fedora then there are zero issues with licenses.

Do you still have the patch from one year ago? I would like to see what you
proposed in changes to WHENCE.
