I'm really surprised that this driver is not supported in your kernel - what version do you have? (run '$> uname -a' on the command line to find out). I think it's been in since 3.0, and available with compat-wireless from 2.6.30. The rt2860.bin file is also available in the linux-firmware ubuntu package.
