Please see the wireless-dev tree. There is a driver for the ralink 2571 in 
there which will be merged along with a number of other wireless drivers when 
the devicescape 802.11 (d80211) wireless stack is sufficiently polished. New 
softmac wireless drivers should be based on that stack if possible. I am 
working on a d80211 version of the rtl8187/rtl8185 driver right now, which is 
I think is the last linux 802.11g driver which needs to be ported.
