Well this looks promising:

Their driver is entirely source code (no .o files or other crap that I
can see).

Anyone know what cards use the rt2400 (802.11b) and rt2500 (802.11g)
chipsets?

Nice to see someone releasing a wireless driver as GPL from the
manufacturer (which they appear to have done as of driver version
1.4.4.0).
