Perhaps:

May be of interest:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/423767>
[please enable rt2800usb and disable rt3070sta in the imx51 kernel]
so maybe the opposite of this:
<http://linuxforums.org.uk/hardware-compatibility/ralink-rt2870-based-usb-wireless-n-adapters-(ubuntu)/>
maybe blacklisting the rt2870sta driver if both rt2870sta and rt2800usb
are loaded?
