What if you roam and don't know the access point address?

You could try using ndiswrapper like I do. I know there are native
drivers for linux, but they freeze my system or just don't compile
(the rt73 driver for me, also from ralink).
After installing drivers with   # ndiswrapper -i drivers_for_windows.inf
check if everthing is ok        # ndiswrapper -l
then you have to load the ndiwrapper module (modprobe ndiswrapper).
a wlan0 interface should be created, you can manage it with iwconfig,
this is what i do:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid "my_essid" ap "00:10:6A:63:94:12"
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.5
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

or just run dhcpcd.
Note that it works only if I set the access point address.
I hope this helps.
