Didn't think about hardy :-)

Surprisingly backports-modules for hardy is missing rt2800usb and
rt2800pci modules (so the new firmware really has got nothing to do
there yet). I tried installing compat-wireless-2.6.39-1 from source.
This go me as far as:
phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware.
 After mv /lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_firmware.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/ I got the (new) firmware to load. Hardy does not
look in /lib/udev/rules.d/.
My RT2860 based card then worked very well on hardy with download
speeds over 56Mbit/s.
