Probably same issue:

Updated to Hardy Heron from Gutsy. My wireless Ralink RT73 driver did
not work automatically, so I again followed the HOWTO: RT73 etc. thread
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236&page=1). At step 13 the
driver is compiled and the hardware is recognized, but fails to come up
in step 14 (see below). Note that eth0 works and that the ... denote
parts I considered not relevant for this issue.

Let me know if further input is useful.
