I am trying a different driver now: rt2870sta
I've read a few reports this may be the 'proper' one to use.
So far so good, no lag or anything and I did not have to set power off
either.
Driver rtl2870sta is not the proper one to use. In fact, a patch to
delete rt2860sta and rt2870sta from the kernel was queued yesterday,
and they will be gone by the time 2.6.40 is released.
New firmware for rt2800usb was just accepted into the linux-firmware
git tree. Please obtain a copy and try it.

Hello,
With latest rt2800usb (and firmware from the git tree ~5 minutes ago)
Without wlan0 power off:

Switching back to rt2870sta, rt2800usb is unusable for me at this time.
With rt2870sta and the Media Link 150 / USB stick, (I have two, the
problems
occur on both, using different USB ports as well using the rt2800usb
driver)

Flawless, I hope the issues can be worked out with the rt2800usb
driver, or
someone keeps a backport of the rt2870sta driver, thanks!
