under Linux, it is seldom a good idea to use drivers from the

For now, this is the only available option with this device. Later,
you should be able to get the driver from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/
I was wrong. The clean driver that doesn't do things frowned upon by
kernel developers does exist,
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rt2400/rt2x00-2.0.0-b3.tar.gz
Instructions after unpacking:
# Adapt the driver to recent USB-related kernel change
sed -i '/owner.*THIS_MODULE/d' rt2500usb.c
# Build and install it
make rt2x00-debug
make rt2x00-install
Now, when you plug the device in, udev will load the rt2500usb module.
Or you can load it with the "modprobe rt2500usb" command by hand. Then
the usual iwconfig command should work.
