Bug#521553: rt2860 driver contains non-free firmware

This is now, I believe, completed; at least, it Works For Me. (I think that
it's in a suitable form for forwarding upstream, though they may want to
retain the option of embedding the firmware. This should be reasonably easy
to accomodate.)

rt2870 seems to follow much the same pattern. I may yet choose to convert it
but, lacking such hardware, I cannot test it.

Don't worry, I'm fluent in weirdo...
