I just wonder when will the kernel dev team will finally fix the rt2860 driver already in the staging drivers and make it work. What I have heard from some fedorans is that the current driver source does not comply with the way linux wireless drivers are designed to make use of the 802.11 stack. So, they have been hacking at it for many months and still not working driver. The driver which you are getting from RPMFUSION is not a "blessed" linux driver - it is the same driver on the ralinktech.com web page. All you have to do is getthe sources for the rpms you mention and unpack them to see that the driver in the source package is 2010_01_29_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.3.0.0.tar.bz2 which is from the ralinktech.com web site.
