Matt, which kernel are you using? This bug is about the Ubuntu kernels,
I don't think the driver is enabled in imx51 kernels in karmic yet, nor
do I think it was in jaunty. When enabled it triggers loads of dmesg
output and doesn't work right in the 2.6.31 kernels we're using.

Hi Loic,
2.6.31-100.7-imx51 with a changed config.. actually we bumped our ABI
in-house just to be safe (to the wonderfully random yet oddly apt 631)
to ensure that we do not clash with the generic Ubuntu kernel, bumped it
to 2.6.31 mainline, added a lot of our own patches, but it is mostly
rt2800usb is a completely different driver from rt3070sta ... the former
is the in-kernel driver maintained by kernel.org upstream, the latter is
from the staging branch ...
as loic mentioned, the rt3070sta definately doesnt work and only spams
dmesg atm (it also required a hack to even enable it
rt2800usb works fine on the RT3070 though. I thought the whole point of
rt2800usb was to get away from the godawful mess that is the Ralink
mainline sta driver? In 2.6.31 with the support for RT3070 rolled into
rt2800usb, rt3870sta as a driver is practically obselete, and given that
rt2800usb
Ohhh ok thanks for clarification; didn't know rt2800usb has support for
this chip.
Matt, the support for this driver seems to be turned on as a module
already, debian.fsl-imx51/config/config.common.ubuntu has
CONFIG_RT2800USB=m, which other config did you have to flip to get this
driver working?
At Genesi we can confirm it works already on Babbage and Lange, it pops
up as rt2800usb and connects to all wireless networks we've tested (b,
g, n, mixed, unencrypted, WEP and WPA2).
The X86 dependency doesn't seem to cause a problem here...

please enable rt3070sta in the imx51 kernel
This is CONFIG_RT3070 and in the fsl-imx51 branch of ubuntu-karmic.git, I see:
debian.fsl-imx51/config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_STAGING=y
debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_RT3070=m
debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_STAGING=y
