Network Driver Installation WUSB600n rt2870


Um... Yeah, so I got this new USB wifi adapter WUSB600n it runs a Ralink rt2870 chipset. Which works great on my vista, but is dead on ubuntu.

From what I'd read prior, ralink was the way to go because they offered their source for linux to use.

However this newer version doesn't seem to be out the box ready.
I did however find a linux driver at:
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Hom...ort/Linux.html

and another one more fitting for what i need at:
http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=4397.0

I however have no clue how to implement them, could someone help me out?

[System Info]
Dual Booting 8.10 ubuntu and win vista
64 bit system
4 gig ram

If you need any other info to help me solve this issue, please ask.

It seems there are quite a few tutorials on the net about this very problem. Check out any of these:
http://ubunturt2870.pbwiki.com/FrontPage
and a discussion on the Ubuntu forums about that tutorial here:

Also, the same tutorial is available elsewhere:
