Well, driver still need some fixes. I have 2 of these dongles and see
some problems here with reading registers, what could be related I
think. I'm gonna fix issues that I have locally. Then we will see if
problems are fixed for you as well. For now, you will need to use
drivers from ralink site, if they work well for you.

I'm going to post modified/cleaned up patch.

If rt2800usb contains usb id of the stick, it should work.
