Good question :-)

The working one has to be "rt2800pci" but I'm not sure if this module 
automatically chainloads the other one ("rt2x00pci") :-?

Well, you can try first to unload all of them:

modprobe -r rt2x00pci
modprobe -r rt2800pci

(the "*lib" ones should be automatically removed, if not, remove them in 
the same way)

And then load just the one it works:

modprobe rt2800pci

Then check again the listed modules:

lsmod | grep rt2

If there are only "rt2800*" modules loaded try to setup the card again.

Hum... no, I don't think so.
