Default Ralink USB

Today I received a D-Link DWL-G122 . Unfortunately it is not a v. B1 -
it is C1.

If the box (i386) is booted on a 3.9beta #617 with the device plugged
in it gets a dmesg line that says:
Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN Class 0/0, rev 2.00/0/01 addr 2, uhub 1 port 2
not configured

I expected the last two words in that message - man page told me that
B1 was it for a G122.

The usbdevs command with -dv says a bit more:
port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 300 mA, config 1, 802.11 bg
WLAN(0x3c03), Ralink (0x07d1), rev 0.01

So I knew it wasn't supported before I plugged it in and those messages
verified it.

Do I:
a - throw it to some windows user because it will never be supported
or
b- hang on to it. Something is happening and might one day make it
useful
or
c- give it to a developer (I'm in Australia, not sure how sending a
thing like that to other countries is accepted by various authorities
there. Local devs are really easy to deliver to.)

In the beginning was The Word
