New firmware for RT2870
Quoted 2 lines · Larry Finger
I downloaded the firmware from b.k.o. It had very little effect on my no-name adapter with ID 148f:3070. It still gets ping losses of 10-15%.
I have tested 0.36 on a 148f:3070 (high quality) device for 4 hours, and it has worked *flawlessly* .

Last year I have been in touch with Mediatek crew, and they said(12/09/2015):
"According to the engineers comment, the firmware didn't change much these years, just some bbp register update and led stuff."
