Please help testing the following planned update and post your results in bug 762987:

Install the testing firmware package from http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp762987/linux-firmware_1.52~lp762987v201106061858_all.deb - then unload and reload your driver module so that the testing firmware is actually loaded into the hardware. Don't forget that step. Always replace rt2800usb with the name of the driver module you are testing:
sudo modprobe -rv rt2800usb
sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb

Now test your driver with this new firmware. The more/longer the better. Tell us if you see any regressions - anything that does not work that does work with the old firmware?

Run the following two commands and post their output so that we have enough information about what you have tested:
1)
grep CODENAME /etc/lsb-release && uname -rm && lspci -vvnn | grep Network && lspci -k | grep Network --after-context 3 | grep use && md5sum /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin && md5sum /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin

2) (Again replace rt2800usb with the driver you are testing):
modinfo rt2800usb | grep -i -E "filename|firmware|srcversion"

Thanks
