Ralink RT5370 wireless usb adapter stops working with vendor request 0x0[67] failed

[kenga13]

Ralink RT5370 wireless usb adapter stops working with vendor request 0x0[67] failed error on Ubuntu 22.04LTS mainstream kernel (and, on previous releases too - 18.04,20.04), if some network load happens. Is there any solution, f.e. some another branch kernel, firmware or alternative driver?

Also, warnings sometimes

rmmod rt2800usb
modprobe rt2800usb

helps for some time, then problem repeats.

I'm having the same issue. I have a very cheap and small USB wlan adapter and apparently it is RT5370 based:

$ sudo dmesg | grep -E '(usb 3-2|phy[0-9]|5370)'

But as it is cheap and in an USB slot, I could as well replace it with something better. Any suggestions?
