No experience with that device (and my wireless efforts seem to be hit &
miss...), but the latest driver is here:

http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html
[RT2501USB(RT73:RT2571W/RT2573/RT2671)]
and the doc indicates that it should also be supported by Network Manager.

As Leonard pointed out, you may have to blacklist some rt modules to get
things to work. See:
