I'm currently using rt2500.ko module, for ralink chips. The rt2400 (for
the "b" adapter) and rt2500 (for the "g") now come with mostly all
distributions. The 2500 chip is not precisely the best but is cheap and
works in monitor mode. I have a pair of PCMCIA cards with it and no
problem.
And the module is GPL'd, indeed.
