download the last firmware and driver for RT2860 from
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.htmlcopy the firmare to /lib/firmware (sudo cp rt2860.bin /lib/firmware/`uname -r`)
extract driver to ~/driver
******************
cd ~/driver
gedit os/linux/config.mk ######### change : HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n => HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n => HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
sudo -s
make
make install
modprobe rt2860sta

after that, install wicd (it's better than NetworkManager for Ralink firmware I think)
