Hi Dave,

I've taken a look at this and it appears there is already a driver in the mainline kernel which should support this device. We hadn't enabled the driver as it was and still is marked as EXPERIMENTAL:

drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/Kconfig:

config RT2800PCI_RT53XX
       bool "rt2800pci - Include support for rt53xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
       depends on EXPERIMENTAL
       default y
       ---help---
         This adds support for rt53xx wireless chipset family to the
         rt2800pci driver.
         Supported chips: RT5390

Our default policy is to disable EXPERIMENTAL options until we have a specific request to enable them. So, I'd consider your bug here a request to enable this experimental driver. Thus, I've built a test kernel with this driver now enabled, eg CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT53XX=y. Please test and let me know your results. Thanks.
