Ralink rt2500, can't load module

[Eric TANGUY]

I found it in the forum :
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=675&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
But it seems to not be relevant to this problem :
"That topic is about the rt2x00 driver not the legacy driver.
And the patch was not for rt2x00 but for the ieee80211 stack."
