Even newer firmware[1] has made it into ubuntu oneiric and is on its way into natty (SRU in bug 762987). The version number for rt2860.bin is 34.00. So this should fix the issue like version 26 from the Ralink website does.
>From the changelog[2]: linux-firmware: rt2800pci: rt2800usb: Firmware update It would be very interesting to know whether this really fixes this issue for everyone. Could you find the time to test this? Simply install the new linux-firmware deb (dpkg -i) or manually grab rt2860.bin from the tar file[3] and put it in /lib/firmware. Then unload (sudo modprobe -rv rt2800pci) and reload (sudo modprobe -v rt2800pci) the driver so that it loads the new firmware and test. This can also be done on a live CD system.
