A copy of my tarball of modified 2.4.0.1 for Maverick 10.10 testers is attached. There is a kernel module binary included; so if you want to rebuild, do the following:

1. Extract the archive (it will unpack as ./2010_0709_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1 so extract this where you really want it)
2. `make clean` from the 2010_0709_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1 directory you just extracted
3. compensate for idiocy by doing `find . -name "*.*o" | xargs rm` as a work-around Ralink's broken clean target
4. `make` the module
5. `make install` the module

You may still need to blacklist the module included in the kernel:

"I also had to blacklist the rt2800 modules as the OS was trying to use them instead. If ifconfig/iwconfig show the device as "wlan0" then it's most likely trying to use the rt2800 module. If the device is shown as "ra0" the rt3572sta module should be in use." -- from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/408165/comments/77

My tarball "works for me" and I cannot offer any support for it. It is a copy of the 2.4.0.1 archive that I found by doing Google searches and jumping through hoops at dozens of terrible websites specializing in "driver updates".
