I did a quick look at the rt2500 driver and did not see any code that detects what version chip is being read. If it is possible to determine if it is ver 2xxx and not 3xxx, then the probe routine should do that and return an error if the wrong driver is being loaded. A similar situation arises in the Realtek PCI devices. In that case, it is a PCI revision that allows a driver to reject the wrong hardware.
