I can confirm this bug in the release of Feisty. I have a D-Link G122
USB stick Rev C1, and the rt2570 gets loaded which makes gdm go funny,
like when I type in my username and password the key gets 'stuck' and
will repeat the input with the stuck key until you press backspace.

The solution I have used is based on the Wiki link on
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=375848, which asks me to
blacklist both rt73usb (the next one that gets loaded after you
blacklist rt2570) and rt2570. rt73usb IS NOT able to connect to my WPA
network and says the security on the network is not supported, although
it works on Windows XP (just to show the wifi adapter is WPA capable).

After compiling rt73 and loading it, the Network Manager does not show
any Wireless networks. I am able to get it to connect to my AP through
entries in /etc/network/interfaces.

I am able to see the interfaces in iwconfig and ifconfig after I load
the rt73 module.

Hope this helps.
