Peter, I’ll update the post with the details. For the moment following Kevin’s suggestion below in the comments worked out 🙂 Thanks for your pointer about the Kernel.

In reply to Adam Williamson. I'll update the post with the lsusb output. For the moment, Kevin's suggestion worked.

In reply to Kevin Kofler. Kevin, I cannot thank you enough. kmod-rt3070 worked perfectly.

lsusb is key; model names are useless for wireless adapters, as the manufacturers often change the chipset while keeping the product name the same (or adding a tiny ‘v2’ or ‘v3’ which is often present only on the hardware itself).

Also try kmod-rt2870 if the rt3070 one doesn’t work.

Both known revisions of this adapter (A1 and A2) use a RT3070 family chipset.

Try kmod-rt3070 from RPM Fusion Free.

works out of box with fedora 15 and opensuse 11.3/11.4. Fedora 15 uses kernel module and opensuse uses third party driver.

With fedora 14 you might want to pick packages from rpmfusion or from ralink website and compile yourself.

Install kmod-rt2870 from rpmfusion.
