I don't know of anyone from Ralink/MediaTek or otherwise working on that. I sent some emails to MediaTek on this issue recently, but I made the mistake of including someone from the community who actively undermind my attempts to reach-out to MediaTek... If you (or anyone else) want to work on integrating device support from that driver with the in-kernel drivers then I encourage you to do so. If you happen to have better contacts with MediaTek than I have, then please feel free to reach out to them and/or to put them in contact with me. John -- John W.
