Oh, i forgot to say that the chipset name/model is: RT2400 An appropriate description would be: RaLink Technology Corp RT2400 802.11b Adapter or just: RT2400 802.11b Adapter
Please file these upstream at pciids.sf.net.
Their online database already includes the proper information about the RT2400 device. BUT, their released pci.ids database does not include the RT2400 device. The entry on their website is marked with a green color, meaning it is not 'approved' yet. I guess we can only wait and see. Thanks for pointing out the website.
