Thank you Birger.
I downloaded the files mentioned in those tips.
Bet before I build the Ralink provided driver, I
will recompile the fedora kernel from source
and enable the Experimental driver which supports
RT5572, and try that out.
If it does not work, I will fall back on recompiling
the driver your link led me to.

Kind regards,
