I'm also getting this in my logs and it's not just cosmetic, there seems
to be some connectivity loss every time it happens as I get glitches and
drop-outs in streaming applications, say Airfoil Speakers specifically.
Seems the Ralink code is doing a periodic scan which I'm not sure is a
normal behavior.

As you can see here this is happing even with very recent staging rt2870 module.

Running a 5GHz WPA2 AES PSK network on channel 36/5.18GHz - basestation
is an Airport Extreme with 7.4.2 firmware and Linksys WUSB600N(rt2870
chipset) USB adapters on the clients (Device ID: 1737:0071) -  on Ubuntu
specifically.

Official Ralink source (2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.2.0.0) won't build
on latest kernels last I tried.
