Ben, great thanks for fixing rt2500 for 2.6.29!

A few comments anyway:

> rt2500 will probably fail to build against each new kernel version,
> because it is abandoned and was crap code in the first place.
...
> Please try the rt2500pci driver in the standard kernel

I know rt2500 may have been abandoned, but at least it gives me stable
WiFi connection as opposed to rt2500pci in standard kernel which used to
break my WiFi connection every few minutes - last failed test was on
vanilla 2.6.28, strange things happening, no solution found (e.g. [1]).

Pairing latest kernel and legacy rt2500 code was the only working
solution for my hardware setup back then. Well, I'm going to give latest
rt2500pci another try. Thanks for encouragement!
