But I dont have that module?

in linux that has worked for many people so try it and see if it works for you in yr box

I tried it, it didnt help.

I got the stick working in the end silverfox, its just slow....

OK for watching encrypted channels, just not good for transferring files, barely getting an inconsistent 1mb/s, was getting a nice solid 4-5mb/s before with the rt2870sta driver.

ahhhh i think i see the issue here

rt2870sta: remove driver (replaced by mainline rt2800usb)

this in new linux 3 kernal change logs for wifi amongs others
try using the new firmware and modules and see what that gives ya

 

[Hontch]

have you added rt2870sta to the blacklist list so it doesnt try to load and hence only load rt2800usb

 

[Hontch]

The rt2870sta module isnt included anymore, it worked ok with that one :/
