Yes, that's the interesting line. So the ID is 0411:0241 but it seems 
not to be included in the saucy kernel if I look at the output of 
"modinfo rt2800usb". According to [1] the patch to include it in the 
kernel was sent on the 28th of September 2013. Therefore I would expect 
it to come to the Ubuntu kernel with the next release (14.04). But you 
could try the manufacturers driver for the rt5572 chip from [2]. That 
worked for my TL-WDN3200 which uses the same chip. You would have to 
compile it yourself though. And you would have to recompile it again 
after every kernel update.
