Drivers form producer site:
See for RT2870USB(RT2870/RT2770)Quote:

Use my driver, plug in your USB stick and type:
lsusb
you'll get the device ID. If your confident in editing c++ source, then edit the rt2870.h file in the include folder to add your device ID, if not post the output from lsusb here and i'll add it to the driver for you. this works 99% of the time (the other 1% of the time is your card isnt rt2870 chipset)
Hi, lsusb wont work for me as the card is not picked up?

So if lsusb doesnt show the card, then the card is bad or you have some problems with your usb ports. try typing lsusb with the card unplugged, then plug it in, then do a lsusb again about 10-15 secs later, see what changes.Quote:

after some googling i found that your edimax 7318usg accually uses the rt2571 chipset, so the rt73 driver should be sufficient in getting it working. Like i said in the above post your problems may stem from the fact that your USB isnt picking it up at all
Thanks for taking the time to help me ..
I changed usb port and got lusb to work although i noticed if you remove / add the dongle back in the device id changes everytime?
although when i
make && make install
modprobe rt2870sta
ifconfig
i still only see lo interface?
Your devID shouldn't change, it's hard coded in the USB so if it's changing something else is going on. But as I states your device doesn't have rt2870 chipset and should fully work with the rt73 driver that is included in BT4
Ok weird one but i retried this a few times and now get a wlan1 showing in ifconfig, if i open spoonwpa / spoonwep the card still isnt shown though?!

i tried to use your drivers, but when doing the "make && make install" i get the following error:
Is there any chance you know whats going wrong here?Code:root@bt:/media/cdrom/rt2870-2.6.27-apocolipse# make && make install

thanks in advance!
EDIT:
if i could find your thread...aaarrrghh....
okay additional info (added from lsusb Output):
It's a Hercules DraftN Stick (HWNU-300), thought that could be useful.Code:{USB_DEVICE(0x06F8,0xE030)}, /* Guillemot Corp. */ \
Okay after finding the thread and reading it i want to leave a mark here for all fellow backtracker's with the same issue:
APOCALIPSE Driver will fail to compile due to kernel changes. Apocalipse himself switched to another card and is no longer able to give support.
He gave the advise to stick with the following driver:
