The drivers in compat-wireless-old-2009-12-11 don't support your device:
pilot:/tmp/compat-wireless-2.6-old$ grep -ir 0x07d1 .
./drivers/net/wireless/ar9170/main.c: { USB_DEVICE(0x07d1, 0x3c10) },
./drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.c: { USB_DEVICE(0x07d1, 0x3c03), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt73usb_ops) },
./drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.c: { USB_DEVICE(0x07d1, 0x3c04), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt73usb_ops) },
./drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.c: { USB_DEVICE(0x07d1, 0x3c06), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt73usb_ops) },
./drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.c: { USB_DEVICE(0x07d1, 0x3c07), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt73usb_ops) },
pilot:/tmp/compat-wireless-2.6-old$ grep -ir 0x3c0f .
pilot:/tmp/compat-wireless-2.6-old$
I don't think your chipset is supported by those drivers. Really,
upgrading your kernel would be the best solution. This really isn't
related to udev at all.
