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. >> >> Unfortunately, as stated earlier (from the beginning?) of this thread, I >> tried an Atheros card, and I could not get it to work with my DVD >> decoder card installed.

Fully supported by the Linux ath9k driver. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704031 Great thing about newegg, they will accept returns with a full refund within 30 days - they even send you a free UPS shipping label. This has been my experience with them.
