I obtained the rt2870 software from:
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html
and the specific file I downloaded was: RT2870USB(RT2870/RT2870)
<http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0528_RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.3.0.0.tar.bz2> 


 From what I can tell, it is an Open-Source Organization and I
did not see any licensing in regards to the code i.e. I do not
think I recall having to click on any license agreements.

Anyway, does anyone have any helpful links that might help
me in properly installing and setting up the Wireless software?

Thanks!
