I was able to compile the driver RT2860PCI/mPCI/CB/PCIe(RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890) from source found at http://www.ralinktech.com/ and followed the instructions found in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476007
I had to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf using sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add rt2800pci on an empty line. I also found out the file intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf and edited it using sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf and changed the original entry below options iwlagn 11n_disable=1 to options iwlagn 11n_disable=0 I restarted the computer and it I am now able to get 802.11n speed on my router. I did another test with the wireless turned off and restarted the system but when I turn on the wireless after the desktop has loaded the network manager applet does not see detect that the wifi is enabled on the laptop. It seems that there is a bug. If I am missing something, please let me know.
