Unfortunately I do not know of **any** 802.11N USB hardware that works
"out of the box" on any version of Ubuntu. There are 802.11b/g USB
adapters that work well, but 802.11N chipsets are as broken on Linux in
2010 as 802.11b/g chipsets were in 2000.

I just wiped my OS clean and started over, trying all of these steps
again, especially Yohann's helpful instructions. Still no joy.

I think "WUSB600N-EU" is not identical to "WUSB600N v.2". Even if they
have the same USB ID (1737:0079 Rev 0101), there may be subtle
differences that make the U.S. retail chip "WUSB600N v.2" still
incompatible.

The furthest I've gotten is getting this chip's LED to blink and some
nasty messages in dmesg, as I have stated before.

However, I am using 5GHz 802.11N with WPA2-PSK AES. I refuse to
downgrade the security or speed of my router to use this card. The
reason I can't get it working may be related to my settings, although
Yohann reports success with the exact configuration I'm using. My router
is a Linksys WRT610N, which works flawlessly with this chipset on
Windows. In fact, "Linksys by Cisco" advertises that these parts are
*specifically* designed to be optimized to work together. Indeed, on
Windows, I am unable to distinguish between this chipset and 100mbps
Ethernet (except that perhaps this chipset can push data even faster
than 100mbps Ethernet over the local network!)

Oh well, sorry for ranting. The software just isn't there. Until I can
get the WUSB600N v2 to work with a recent version of Ubuntu, I'm having
to use Windows, as ethernet is not convenient on the PC with the
WUSB600N chip.

I will try again next time Ralink updates their proprietary drivers, and
again when 2.6.33 (and .34, etc) are official, to see if the rt2x00
project has made any progress with this chipset.
