I'm pretty sure I did that.  I've enabled rt2500/rt73 in that same menu.  I
just didn't see an option for the 2800usb there.
In the Wireless LAN menu, at the bottom is a "Ralink driver suppot" submenu
as you say, but it only has 3 choices: rt2500 (USB), rt2501/rt73 (USB) and
debug output.  If I use xconfig's "Show All Options", I still do not see
anything for the 2800 (it shows PCI and PCMCIA supported chipsets, plus all
the stuff you'd expect to see, like RT2X00_LIB, _LIB_USB, etc).

I'll do some more investigating.

Good to know.  Thank you again.
