I did a little more research and found this:

- https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/rt2880_inic
- https://dflund.se/~triad/krad/dlink-dir-685/bootlog-orig.txt
- https://github.com/canalplus/r7oss/tree/master/G5/src/rt3662-modules-2.4.0.9.10
- https://github.com/kovz/ralink_inic

So it seems there is some out-of-tree vendor source code, but nothing in
mainline. I consider getting this to work would be an ambitious project.
If you're not really into kernel development, it's probably easier to
get another card, which is supported.
