Not having one of these cards or seen how it interacts with
NetworkManager I cannot help much further.

You could look at:

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61#Getting%

Note: This doc looks quite out of date. Though with 'lsmod' and
'ifconfig' it will detail more info for troubleshooting.
