OK, looks like you were right, rt2870sta IS conflicting with the rt3572sta module…
(Please see the IMPORTANT note at the bottom first)
You’ll need to blacklist the rt2870sta module, so open a terminal and run:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
add a new line that reads
blacklist rt2870sta
Save the file and exit.
Now run:
sudo modprobe -r rt2870sta
then
sudo modprobe rt3572sta
If it works, but doesn’t survive a reboot, run:
sudo sh -c 'echo rt3572sta >> /etc/modules'
and reboot.
THIS IS IMPORTANT (if you use WPA(2) encryption) …
If you DIDN’T make the edits to the Ralink driver for WPA(2) support BEFORE compiling and installing.
Download these drivers from my dropbox, they are allready edited to give WPA(2) support:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11876059/2011_0427_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.5.0.0.DPO.tar.bz2
then compile and install them.
Honestly Mark, You have no idea how grateful I am for your help. I had to go out and I am now back. Ill do everything you said before later, but for now I installed the driver the laptop, except… It will not connect to my network and consistently tries to reconnect but never gets there. with Airodump-ng it wont pick up any networks even though its in monitor mode. Maybe you can help with that? I do have a WPA network and I did make the WPA config change. The computer recognizesthe card fine and “finds” networks but wont connect and like I said, It doesnt find anything with airodump-ng… here are some things you might ask for.

Forget that realtek card, it sucks, and it isnt even realtek its Atheros
Firstly can you mind the language please.
Secondly this will get confusing very quickly if we’re working on 2 PC’s with different setups at the same time … I mean, I have no idea what has or hasn’t been done on the laptop, no idea what distro/version, etc.
Also can we leave and airodump-ng out of it … I can’t help with that, and because (IIRC) it sometimes needs a modification to the wireless cards firmware, which may have a bearing on whether the card works or not as a regular Wifi adapter ?
I will try to help you with the drivers to get the card working as a normal Wifi card if you want, but need to know if you’ve been messing with the firmware ?
@BkS
It is kinda funny as an SSID, but not so much on a public forum that’s here to help everyone, including kids and those that may be offended.
Have you tried turning off wireless security in the router … just to check if it connects … you can turn it back on afterwards … I just want to rule out encryption and/or a problem with the wireless key.
Can you also try setting the router to wireless G (54mbps) or mixed mode G/N … and not N only … just as a test.
Once we know it’s not an issue with wireless security, or speed settings … we can maybe try some other drivers.
I know this seems obvious, but have you also ruled out it just being a signal strength issue ?
Can you send the output from
ifconfig
and
iwconfig
and
iwlist scanninng
[EDIT]
Also, turn OFF the onboard wireless adapter … so we’re only working with the rt3572 based card.
Is the rt3572 set to get its IP from the routers DHCP server ? or have you given it a static IP ?
Something else I’ve noticed (from your previous iwconfig output) is that the adapter seems to be in “Auto” mode … can you go into NetworkManager and set the mode to “infrastructure”.
I checked all the settings and they are what you said they should be at. I removed all security and reset the SSID to default “TRENDnet TEW-691GR”
It connected for about 2 minutes then disconnected I was typing this message when it stopped.
Here are the outputs from the commands. I am working with the onboard wireless for now, and the receiver is not but 5’ away from the router

EDIT: Now that I look at iwconfig it is listing the thing as connected to the old SSID, that doesnt exist anymore.
EDIT/EDIT I unplugged the thing and rebooted. It connected again for only a few minutes then disconnected.
OK, let’s try an older pre-modified driver …
(this is pre-modified, so no need to change the WPA lines in config.mk)
Just follow these instructions -
Open a terminal and run:
cd ~
then
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11876059/2010_0709_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2
then
tar -xjvf 2010_0709_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2
then
cd 2010_0709_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1
then
make
then
sudo make install
then
sudo modprobe -r rt3572sta
then
sudo modprobe rt3572sta
Then check the version with:
modinfo rt3572sta | grep version
if it reads -
version: 2.4.0.0
REBOOT, and test your wireless.
Mark, You amaze me. Thank You so much! It is finally working, and believe it or not, It has a light on it… i never saw the light on the adapter before. I saved the download for all my other machines.
The only problem now is that airodump-ng doesnt work, it doesnt display any networks… can you help me with that? Do you know anything about aircrack? Should I start a new thread for it?
As far as I’m aware, I think you have to put the adapter into “monitor mode”
But I’m not an aircrack/dump-ng expert … you’d probably be better off asking on their forum:
Sorry.
[EDIT]
Bit of info (which could be wrong) … this topic:
seems to suggest the rt3572sta driver isn’t supported by aircrack-ng, but the rt2800usb driver IS supported.
The good news for you is that I’m fairly sure your cards ID strings (148f:3572) have been added to rt2800usb in kernel 3.2 … so you can either wait for Ubuntu 12.04, Switch to Debian, or install the 3.2 kernel in 11.10
It’s definitely supported by the rt2800usb thats included in the 3.2 kernel in Debian … see here:
http://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb
Anyway … Good luck.
Well, I kinda screwed myself because the whole reason I got this network adapter was so that I could use aircrack-ng. All of my Atheros wireless cards dont have native linux support and I figured that if I found one that did have native linux drivers that I could. Then I went off and bought this card… So if I update the kernel to 3.2 will I need to reinstall the drivers and crap?
Hopefully not … you’d (hopefully) just need to use the rt2800usb driver (which is built into the 3.2 kernel) instead of the rt3572sta staging driver.
If you can wait till tomorrow, I’ll test it and get back to you.
Meanwhile it would be a good idea for you to search the aircrack forums for any info on whether the rt3572sta drivers ARE supported … and if not, how to make it work with the rt2800usb drivers (if we can get them to work)
At the end of the day I may be able to help get the rt2800usb drivers to work with your card … but I won’t be able to give you help with aircrack-ng … the last thing I want is to get bombarded by requests for hep with aircrack-ng, so have to run off and learn all the ins and outs of it 
… that’s what their forum is for 
Have you considered asking if you can return the card for another make/model, then asking on the aircrack-ng forum for suggestions on which one to get ?
Hey there! I’m having an identical issue with a different wireless card. I’m currently using the ASUS PCE-N15 and running Kubuntu 11.10.

Any recommendations on a fix I could implement? I’m reasonably savvy. I’m capable of manual or automatic patches, recompiling, etc.
Thanks in advance for any pointers you might have!
What makes you think this card has a Ralink chip ? … your lsmod output seems to be suggesting it’s a Realtek chip, my guess is an
product: RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter
vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
Can you post the output from:
lspci -vnn
So we can get the Vendor:Product ID string, and work out what the card is.
Can you also post the output from
sudo lshw -C network
and
ifconfig
and
iwconfig
and
iwlist scanning
and
rfkill list
And preferably a description of what the problem actually is …
I'm having an identical issue with a different wireless card.
isn’t very helpful in a topic that contains MANY different issues
And is this the ONLY wireless adapter fitted to the system.
[EDIT]
Have you tried the driver from the ASUS site:
http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/PCEN15/#download
?
Hi!
Wow, you seem to rock hard!
I just got a Tenda Adapter W311MI and it claims to have a 148F:5370, but I tried the original driver and it did not work, I also tried your 5372 driver and it loads but does not show any devices, I am about to try installing linux 3.3 on Centos 6.2 x86_64 instead.
Any suggestions? I would love a fail safe to be able to use this 5370 card on any linux based distro (at least ubuntu 11.10/12.04) if at all possible, just if it is not too much to ask, could you point me in the right direction?
Your devices vendor:product ID strings are contained in the Ralink
2011_0225_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.1_DPO.tar.bz2
driver.
Which can be downloaded from here:

You’ll have to fill in a name and email, but you can put whatever you like (it’s not checked), and click the Accept button.
Name:a
email:a@b.com
will do
DON’T FORGET - be sure to make the edits to /os/linux/config.mk if you want/need WPA(2) support … and that make && make install MUST be run as root.
and the you have to modprobe rt5370sta not rt2870sta
You may also need to blacklist the rt2870sta module if it’s being loaded.
I have problem with ASUS n-11 USB, instal driver was successful (make and install - no error) but nothing happen when i put wifi in USB.

What`s wrong?
Mmm, it’s looking a bit like that driver doesn’t support your particular network card … however;
Take a look at;
common/rtusb_dev_id.c
Try adding;
{USB_DEVICE(0x1761,0x0B05)},
To the list of recognised devices, then recompile, rmmod, insmod, and try again …
Any particular reason you’re not using rt2800usb which contains that VENDOR:DEVICE ID string:-
alias: usb:v1761p0B05d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
What happens if you run:
sudo modprobe -r rt2870sta
then
sudo modprobe rt2800usb
Does Wireless spring to life ?

wifi is suspended after 20 minutes and I have to reset the device to re-work...
