Hm, looks like I overlooked this recipe:( I've seen rt61 and rt73 recipes in
rt2x00 (was searching for packages starting with 'rt') dir and I thought, that
this dir is appropriate for my recipe also.  Anyway rt3070 is called 3070, but
it's 2870 with some mods, you can see outputs of 2870 in dmesg, even config
file is called RT2870sta.dat, it's a weird driver but the only option.

There's a difference in my recipe also, I create empty RT2870sta.dat file,
because I was unable to get it working with it (what a driver reading config
files from userspace) and I use it with iwconfig successfully.

There's a bug[1] for it and probably can be closed, patch[2] which can be
discarded also. And FYI the direct links at Ralink's site don't work
anymore(you've to agree with GNU/GPL EULA :D before downloading it), so I
kindly asked Laibsch if he could mirror it on OE.

So, should I prepare a patch which will move recipes from rt2x00 dir to ralink
dir and move my recipe there(newer version)? Thanks for you time reviewing my
patch.
