Hi,

That is because they are drivers for the same hardware.

The staging/rt2870 should actually be removed from the kernel tree,
I am going to merge rt2800pci soon as well and after that I'll send a patch
to remove all Ralink drivers from the staging tree.
As for known issues:
- staging/rt2870 is a piece of crap which apparently works for some people
but isn't generally stable or reliable
- wireless/rt2800usb follows the kernel coding style/rules and uses mac80211
but isn't showing a high quality for usability.
Ivo
