It isn't clear to me why a separate driver from the existing ral(7D) is 
needed because this is attached via USB rather that PCI.  Is the 
RT2500USB that different to the RT2500 that the ral(7D) driver supports 
that a new driver is needed ?

However I did a tiny bit of research and found that *BSD have a similar 
ral/ural split so it seems that other operating systems chose this split.

Also is this case setting any precedent that we should attempt to prefix 
USB NIC drivers with 'u' ?
