Linux 3.0 and later kernels have some experimental support for the
Ralink rt35xx and rt53xx chipsets. But it's not enabled on Ubuntu.
I recompiled the kernel with this module, and it's working fine with my
rt5370 wifi dongle. And this dongle work out of the box in debian Sid
and work on wheezy if I add the correct firmware.
It's already enabled in the Debian configuration of the 3.2 kernel,
Ubuntu is using the same kernel and have support enabled for the same
chipsets (rt35xx and rt53xx) for the pci variant of the module.
I think this was disabled by mistake.
Please add this to the kernel configuration on Precise and Quantal:
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y
----
A little more about the rt35xx and rt53xx. Theses chipsets are used in a
lot of very cheap wifi dongle and arm devices such as Android Tablets
(Sometime compatible with Ubuntu Arm). They are very common and work
very well despite the very low price. There is an official Linux driver
on the Ralink Website, but it is nearly impossible to make it work. The
driver provided officially with the Kernel work flawlessly (based on my
own experience).
There is a package of backported network modules on Precise, and this contain
a rt2800usb module that work with the rt53xx. But this package is nearly
undocumented, and that was a lucky find. Nobody will do that instinctively in
order to make that dongle work.
