I've tried this with some (but limited) success. Here is
my saga:

The new ralink dongle it says I got working in that
web page, is actually quite finicky. I have to try it
several times, plugging and unplugging and starting
over, and eventually I can get it to connect and work
(and not overheat). Here's the bug I submitted:

I haven't tried the old or new dongle with fedora 16
yet. Perhaps they'll work better.
