Well I've blacklisted rt2800usb and tried to manuall unload it. I've also added rt2870sta to /etc/modules but I still don't have a wireless connection. Below are the relevant bits from dmesg, lsusb and iwconfig for my setup:

dmesg:

[ 7.687026] rt2870sta: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[ 7.688926] rtusb init --->
[ 7.688948] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870

lsusb:

iwconfig:

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

What's interesting is that 9.10 beta gave me a wlan0 entry in network manager (although I couldn't get it working). Now I don't have anything.
