I'm porting RT2870 driver from *bsd. Some member of japan opensolaris
user group are using it for two months for testing. There are no serious
problem now, I think. Please try it if you like.

It supports only 802.11g, not 802.11n. So, the transfer speed is limited
up to 54Mbps. It also doesn't support suspend/resume for the time being.

The source code and binary is here:
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/run-0.0.6.tar.gz

You will need to add your device name of the usb wifi device into
adddrv.sh in the tarball when you install the driver, I think.

To know the device name in Solaris, check the output of prtconf -v after
plugging the device into your pc.
