N13 PCIe Wlan driver on ubuntu 10.10 (x64)

Download the linux driver from ralink corp RT2860PCI/mPCI/CB/PCIe(RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890)
make ; sudo make install
driver is rt2860sta
install wicd and wicd-client
sudo apt-get install wicd wicd-client
disable network-manager at boot

if you are on 64bit version of maverick you will get a nice error message with

kernel: [] phy0 -> rt2800pci_load_firmware: Error - PBF system
register not ready.

That is a confirmed bug #659143
Solution was for me to install the wireles-next and to reboot
download

wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2010-12-14.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf compat-wireless-2010-12-14.tar.bz2
cd  compat-wireless-2010-12-14
./scripts/driver-select rt2x00
make 
sudo make install 
sudo reboot 

ps: at the end of the bug if you don't want to mess your wireless there is a testing kernel that solves the issue , you can try it if you don't want to compile it
