To be honest I only could get my RT2870 device (which is actually identified as an
RT2860) to scan properly when I tested it.
However, I had major USB connection issues with that device at the time, so the USB
connectivity would not survive a association / authentication cycle towards my WPA2-
protect network.

However, I did manage to connect to this network with my RT3070 device, so I have
no reason to believe that things would be different for RT2870.

One thing that I believe is still missing for the whole RT28xx/RT3xxx devices is
proper 802.11n support. I am not sure about that, as I haven't really investigated
that yet, but my feeling, based on what other drivers had to do to support 802.11n,
is that we need more work inside rt2x00 to properly support 802.11n.
