I would suggest to try the driver downloaded directly from Ralink's site, which is apparently most stable with this card.
Just to make sure you have everything required to build the driver is preinstalled, run these commands while you are connected to internet via cable:
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms
(it would reinstall the headers, build-essential and dkms packages even if they are already installed)
Then download the rt2860sta driver from here: http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_supp...ort.php?sn=501
(You can also download the firmware from above link if required, although I see it already exists in /lib/firmware directory in 11.10, so shouldn't be required.)
Afterwards, follow this guide to build and install the driver: http://michael-peeters.blogspot.in/2...er-ubuntu.html
(it is written for RT2860 chip, but would be same for your card).
The download link in the above linked guide is broken, the correct one is what I have provided above.
Let's hope it works for you as it has for many others.
