I can confirm this bug in the release of Feisty. I have a D-Link G122 USB stick Rev C1, and the rt2570 gets loaded which makes gdm go funny, like when I type in my username and password the key gets 'stuck' and will repeat the input with the stuck key until you press backspace.

The solution I have used is based on the Wiki link on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=375848, which asks me to blacklist both rt73usb (the next one that gets loaded after you blacklist rt2570) and rt2570. rt73usb IS NOT able to connect to my WPA network and says the security on the network is not supported, although it works on Windows XP (just to show the wifi adapter is WPA capable).

After compiling rt73 and loading it, the Network Manager does not show any Wireless networks. I am able to get it to connect to my AP through entries in /etc/network/interfaces.

I am able to see the interfaces in iwconfig and ifconfig after I load the rt73 module.

Hope this helps.
