Warning :)  If the rt2x00 maintainers haven't kept their dscape stack up
with recent kernel developments, then you'll have problems.  This is
_always_ the problem with out-of-kernel drivers.  Please contact the
authors of the rt2x00 driver and ask them.  I _do_ know that they are
quite actively porting the rt2x00 drivers to the devicescape stack in
wireless-dev.git.  Ask them, people on this list aren't likely to know
much about that specific driver and whatever stack the driver
maintainers appear to be including wtih their tarball.
