OK, I've blacklisted rt2870sta und unblacklisted the other ones but that
doesn't work, NetworkManager shows "firmware missing" like described
above.

With lsusb, I found out something interesting. lsusb says:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 07d1:3c0a D-Link System DWA-140 RangeBooster N
Adapter(rev.B2) [Ralink RT2870]

Hm, on the one hand, it seems to be a RT2870 based one like it's written
in the output, but one the other hand its ID is 07d1:3c0a which
indicates that it's RT3070 based. lsusb also says it's "rev.B2" (the
RT3070-based version of the DWA 140). I've checked out the original box
from D-Link. Here it says "H/W Ver.: B2".

I guess my stick has a RT3070 chipset which also explains why the
rt2800usb driver does not work. The root of the problem is that the
stick isn't correctly identifying so the wrong driver is loaded or there
is a bug in one of the subsystems (libusb, udev etc.)

The ubuntuusers-wiki says that rt2870sta *could* work with RT3070
although it hadn't been written for that. The right driver for my device
is rt3070 but I am not sure of it will work because my device insists to
be a RT2870. I'll have to test it out, but acutally I have no reason to
complain because I was using rt2870sta with that device since Lucid and
it worked properly.
