I tried to find it but it is all named like 'rt3070-kmod.~~~.src.fc14' or 'rt3070-kmod-debuginfo.~~~.fc14'.

The first one is something that I've tried before(Unpack and there's the src), but I haven't tried the latter one. Thanks.

The latter one is the debug rpm. If there's a debug rpm, and a source rpm, there should be an installable rpm there as well. Keep looking.

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 <URL:http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration>http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

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