I don't see that happening before squeeze.
I don't think ATM rt2800pci is even usable, and it still uses the
ralink firmware.
So I'd rather see this as a Squeeze+1 goal.

Which kernel will get in squeeze? I think the driver in 2.6.31 should work.

Couldn't we divert the needed files from acpi-support?
