I believe that the needed packages to support the RT3070 are in the
rpmfusion-free repository.

I had done this back in F11 to get the RT2860 working....but it was a
long time ago.  It did work fine I just decided not to use the wireless
card on my desktop system.

I am sure someone else will know the details.  But, generally the step
should be....

1.  Enable the rpmfusion-free repo     http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

2.  Install kmod-rt3070 which will pull in the dependencies for the
kernel you're running.
