Hi Tim,
unfortunately I do not have your hardware, so I have to imagine what I would do. First I would blacklist all (!!!) drivers found in the /lib/modules/xxx/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00 directories of Brian Rogers kernels, where xxx is e.g. 2.6.35rc5-nopatch1-generic for one of his latest build. I.e. you make a file /etc/modprobe.d/rt2870.conf containing
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2x00pci
...
and so on, including the rt2800usb and reboot.
If one of these steps works you are done and do not have to continue.
If your wlan stick is not recognized, unplug it and plug it in again.
If that has not worked load the module by hand, i.e. sudo modprobe rt2870sta (the module's name is rt2870sta also usb_core claims to have loaded the rt2870 driver)
If that has worked you may add rt2870sta to /etc/modules
if not I don't know.
Michael
