Comment 1 for bug 460323

No go, the blacklisting does not work for me.

From dmesg:

[27214.535307] rt2870sta: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

Device is seen as wlan0 instead of ra0 as it should. Using Wicd, I can set it to ra0 which allows my own network to show up, but it will not connect. Help.
