Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To Use Zonet ZEW2500P Module - NetworkManager Won't Start On Booting

After upgrading to Lucid said adapter is nonfunctional - NetworkManager won't start on booting (I'm using 2870sta module) and it finds no networks - neither does WICD. The device itself is identified: "lsusb" gives a line "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology Corp." "iwconfig" gives nothing under lo and eth0 and this under wlan0:

Code:

RTxx70 Wireless ESSID:""
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412GHz
Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dbBm Noise level:-143 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

And a "lsmod | grep -e rt2 -e rt3" gives:

Code:

rt2870sta 525366 0

(Note: I had a similar problem going from Jaunty to Karmic, but blacklisting rt2800usb in my blacklist.conf fixed it. No such luck this time.)Using a Zonet ZEW2500P.x86-64 Lucid.
