Thank you very much for response. I don't know if the issue should be closed.
Here's the short story:
I downloaded latest Xubuntu:
$ uname -a
Linux xubuntu 3.2.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 9 21:36:08 UTC
2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The old driver is working now (previously wasn't at all, but
supposedly was there!!! Do they disable themselves miraculously in the
kernel? Or did someone added a line for the OLD drivers that somehow
works now with a very similar rt539xpci ?.
Anyway, its rt2800pci and its working. I am so happy now, although I
highly suspect its NOT the proper driver and for LTS, I think it
should. For this card Ralink provides Linux drivers rt590xpci 2.5.0.3
(09/26/2011). And its a separate, different download from rt2800pci.
For the install of rt539xpci people recommend blacklisting rt2800pci
(kernel included (?) rt2800pci wasn't working for me at all, now its
working- miracle).
I attach some $: all in one: demesg-lspci-vnvn-uname-a-lshw
