In the latest sources from Linus.git there is this warning:
#ifdef CONFIG_RT2800USB_UNKNOWN
/*
* Unclear what kind of devices these are (they aren't supported by the

/* Sitecom */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0df6, 0x0040), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt2800usb_ops) },
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And there is your device, FWIW. Now, enabling CONFIG_RT2800USB_UNKNOWN
is beyond my abilities. Even though it's definitely present in the Kconfig
file, I can't get it to show up in menuconfig. That option is new since
2.6.31-gentoo-r10, so I'm guessing the existing driver doesn't support that
particular device yet.
I'd happily be wrong if someone knows otherwise.
BTW, the driver code that's rejecting your device could be commented out
in drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.c (lines 2339-2359). (If you choose
to rebuild the driver that way -- don't blame me for any death/destruction
or loss of data it may cause. The RF chip is the high-power part of the
adapter, so driving that chip incorrectly could do it damage, maybe.)
