1242c70df5 Staging: rt2870: fix up netdev->priv usage
Now that netdev->priv is removed, fix the driver to use netdev->ml_priv
like it always should have been doing.

5a501b3011 Staging: rt2870: disable root hack for reading files
We are now using credentials, so just blindly setting the fsuid and
fsguid isn't acceptable.  All this means is that the config file needs
to be readable by the driver thread, not a big deal.

c55519ff75 Staging: add rt2870 wireless driver
This is the Ralink RT2870 driver from the company that does horrible
things like reading a config file from /etc.  However, the driver that
is currently under development from the wireless development community
is not working at all yet, so distros and users are using this version
instead (quite common hardware on a lot of netbook machines).

So here is this driver, for now, until the wireless developers get a
"clean" version into the main tree, or until this version is cleaned up
sufficiently to move out of the staging tree.

Ported to the Linux build system and cleaned up a bit already by me.
