I assume that you mean RaLink (no "y").  Have you tried contacting the
people at RaLink?  I understand that they are very supportive of open
source development.  As a result, there is a Linux driver for both the
rt2400 and rt2500.  The project page is
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400.  BTW, this driver seems solid.
I flogged it hard with flood pings and it held up well.  My rt2500 is
a Belkin model F5D7010.PCMCIA card, which I have stuck in a laptop
running Slackware. Unfort., I need it so I can't send it to you.  I am
not aware of any PCI cards using the rt2500.

Given RaLink's willingness to work with the open source community,
wouldn't the rt2500 be a better candidate for a native driver, rather
than Project Evil?
