Realtek driver called urtw, but I agree with you to avoid confusion.

This driver closer to USB run(4), but this use USB and difference still big.

In future, not so closer, I will try to join run, ral and my rt2860. But there is too much work and I need to find time for it.

If no objections, I send updated patch with new name.

Thank you Bernhard!
