Everytime fedora kernel is updated, you will have to rebuild the ralink driver for that updated kernel. And it is not just a matter of running make xconfig to enable the rt2860 driver in the staging area, and then building the kernel. You will have to "enable" wpa_supplicant settings in ralink's config.mk file like this: # Support Wpa_Supplicant HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y # Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y before you start the kernel build. If you have multiple production systems that you wish to install this card on, you might want to choose a pci card that is currently supported by the madwifi driver or by the ath9k driver. Good luck.
