This should get you going - rt2800usb
OK, so I rebooted and then plugged in the rt3702 dongle
dmesg shows: [ 3270.106423] usb 4-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 14 using ehci-pci [ 3270.210079] usb 4-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=3072 [ 3270.210085] usb 4-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 3270.210088] usb 4-1.2: Product: 802.11 n WLAN [ 3270.210091] usb 4-1.2: Manufacturer: Ralink [ 3270.210094] usb 4-1.2: SerialNumber: 1.0 [ 3270.212400]

Yet, there is no interface for ifcfg to play with :( ifcfg shows only:

So, the dongle is not visible to what???? It's driver? It's driver module is loaded. To wit: $ lsmod | grep rt5572sta rt5572sta 810817 0
Notice the driver module has no client drivers attached to it (as indicated by the trailing 0).
PS: The driver source code does not name the driver module as rt3072.ko , So, it is not clear to me if it actually built a driver for that chipset.
