I'm guessing because I need the mentioned firmware update? Where can I
get it? Or better yet can you (this is almost laughable considering the
ralink thread right now) get it into linux-firmware? Or is the needed
firmware update an unstable thing?
The new FW has to be formally/officially tested before it is merged into
linux-firmware.
Either way I can wait on the firmware-version fix but where can I find
the patch that shows fixes the "driver: usb" issue? Your obviously shows
properly :-)

Sorry for being a bit dim on this but which part of this exactly fixes
the ethtool driver function? I'm guessing it is in the patchset and the
firmware is only required if I want to detect the firmware version? Or
do I really need experimental firmware to make it detect the driver
properly?
Also, when you say experimental do you mean it's all pretty experimental
or just the AP stuff is? I'm guessing the firmware is based on the
current firmware so the station mode et al should be (approximately) as
stable at the released firmware and only the AP parts are experimental.
Thanks,
