I didn't recompiled the module I recompiled the whole kernel !

You are turning me crazy with that, it's just a kernel configuration mistake !

You forgot theses config key:

CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y

And without that of course there will not be support for this chipset. Because it is disabled.

I haven't done anything special to make it work, I just added a config time option that is (I really don't know why) disabled.

I can do all sort of things if you want. But I have the feeling you are playing a game with me. It's so simple !

Without that:
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y

It doesn't work

With that:

CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y

It's working.

It's working on 3.5-Rc4, in 3.2.21 and even with 3.2.0-26-generic that Ubuntu is coming with if I recompile the Kernel with this options (the driver is already here in source !).

The apport-collect I'have done is without the modification but this computer have two wifi cards. One on the mini pci and the other is the usb dongle that is not working.

And this summary you just changed is not what I mean. I do want you to enable the support for those chipsets, not just that specific card.

It's not a driver that is missing a card ID, it's a driver that has two options disabled, and theses options are to make those chipsets work.

To sum it up: Please add support for Ralink rt35xx and rt53xx support on the rt2800usb driver that is already in the kernel but disabled by Ubuntu kernel team (or left disabled by not noticing it).
