Ok. Thanks. These would be the correct files. The ones on
ralinktech.com are probably outdated,
as Ralink doesn't seem to be that diligent to update the firmware that
can be downloaded from their
web-site as new versions come out. Usually the latest versions of the
firmware are included in the
newer versions of the Linux drivers they post on their website.
