rt2800usb works fine on the RT3070 though. I thought the whole point of rt2800usb was to get away from the godawful mess that is the Ralink mainline sta driver? In 2.6.31 with the support for RT3070 rolled into rt2800usb, rt3870sta as a driver is practically obselete, and given that rt2800usb works out of the box here (it took ZERO effort to click NetworkManager and connect) and rt3070sta does not (it basically doesn't work properly on ANY platform unless you work some arcane magic with touching oddly named config files in /etc/Wireless/RT2870/*, and doesn't work well with wpa_supplicant or with it's own encryption on my network)....

... the question is, why would anyone want to use the rt3070sta driver, then?
