You don't have to compile the driver to get it work with the current
Lucid kernel (2.6.32-24). You just need the configuration file
(RT2860STA.dat).

1. Download the driver for "RT2860PCI/mPCI/CB/PCIe(RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890" from the page http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
2. Extract the archive
3. Configure the configuration file RT2860STA.dat (see README_STA for information)
4. Copy your customizedRT2860STA.dat to /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat
5. Reload the driver ("rmmod rt2860sta" and "modprobe rt2860sta")
I don't know, if it's necessary to insert the module in /etc/modules.

Works for me with the configuration file from the 2.4.0.0 driver source
and the 2.6.32-24 kernel on Lucid.

Found that trick on a german blog (http://campino2k.de/2010/04/07/wer-
lesen-kann-ist-klar-im-vorteil/).
