I didn't know about the native Ralink driver for the 2870. I've gone ahead an built it and tested it. The access point can be either in b/g/n mode or N only mode. In b/g/n mode it connects at G. In N only mode it doesn't connect. iwconfig doesn't have a "modu" parameter for 11n, so I don't force a modulation from the Linux side. Should I be somehow?
