The Original newest driver from the RaLink site works for me
(Ubuntu feisty 64-bit)

http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html
There and then the newest driver


If you install it you first must run make configure (or make config) and set 
the path to your kernel sources (it defaults to a wrong directory)
and then just follow the manual


then if you make it and pit the etc/Wireless/RT73STA firmware and its config 
file in place it should work
network manager then at least sees your card (as a wired link but it at least 
works)

then you can set your SSID etc in etc/Wireless/RT73STA/rt73sta.dat
scanning works only with iwpriv  "sudo iwpriv rausb0 get_site_survey"

then set the good ssid in the config file and there you go
just click the unknown usb wired device in network manager


The CVS from rt2x00 dont work for me

so I hope ubuntu puts this driver in gutsy, with this dirver being able to 
compile for 32 and 64-bit 
and if then its nicely integrated in the network manager then rt73 user dont 
have such a hassle getting this wlan card to work

I could write a Java program to front a GUi for scanning for networks
and connecting to them, but that would be less nice since all other
cards work with network manager. And since im not that good with C to
change the driver so it works with the network manager i Hope someone
from ubuntu can do it

And i know its possible cause PCLINIXOS supports this driver out of the
box

(Just see this as the 2nd reply as a feature request)

Sincerely, Bram
