No need. They were already included.

Updated Ralink RT2860 & Ralink RT2870 from your links for v11.08r1

I've added further HWID support for the RT2500 (PCI) & RT2500 USB chipset families. This includes ALLWIN, Belkin, Linksys, Hercules, Nintendo-Buffalo, etc. The original files are all intact; i've simply added .Inf files for missing HWID's to preserve WHQL status for the majority. Asperusual, the ute is included forwtf.
RT2500 here --> http://www.mediafire.com/file/xtc76l7ct … 3.2.0.0.7z
RT2500 USB here --> http://www.mediafire.com/file/un3pad6jb … WiFiUSB.7z

This guy's more talented than me, though. Somehow LinkSys certificates are included to override WHQL! Could this drive sysadmins to substance abuse, should anybody be able to issue one (or even generic items - localhost, mailto...EEK)?

Newer drivers (v3.1.3) are available for the RT2500USB series on Vista-7 (x86 & x64) from Windows Update Catalog.
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/ … x?q=rt2500

Once again, these drivers (except for the xp driver) remain untested. For vista-7 you would likely need to completely remove any old drivers (including files) because the advanced tab options are different.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/un3pad6jb … WiFiUSB.7z
I have included the info files "rtNWusb.inf", "netr70NW.inf" & "netrNW64.inf" to extend support to the "Nintendo WiFi USB Adaptor". All other info files remain untouched to retain WHQL status. Unlike the vista driver, the windows 7 driver has support for Virtual WiFi. The Ralink utility is included, you might remove all but the basics for DP (if acceptable).

NICE! I hate those Ralink installers!

Yes, indeed, i concur. Try a trial of installshield (from macrovision - the guys that brought you DVD player copy-protection, that wouldn't play on projection TVs, or through a VCR, nor play a retail VHS tape on a PC )?
Line up your 'ducks' all in a row (so to speak), then knock 'em all down (win a prize).
