Here is what I've done on my own system. It works better than original driver.

  1. download archive :
  2. extract archive
  3. cd 2011_1007_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO
  4. download :
  5. patch -p1
  6. make sure /os/linux/config.mk reads HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
  7. make
  8. sudo make install
  9. modprobe rt5390sta

You may need to to install and configure dkms to build automaticaly wifi drivers when kernel change :

You may need to disable some other drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

## Blacklist conflicting kernel modules blacklist rt2800pci blacklist rt2800lib blacklist rt2x00usb blacklist rt2x00pci blacklist rt2x00lib blacklist rt2860sta blacklist rt3090sta 

Note : I don't know why but sometimes (it's happens rarely), driver is unable to find wifi hotspot and write this in syslog :

GetDesiredTssiAndCurrentTssi: BBP TSSI INFO is not ready. (BbpR47 = 0x94) RT5390_AsicTxAlcGetAutoAgcOffset: Incorrect desired TSSI or current TSSI 

And you may have to shutdown by power button of your machine. (If someone know why, I'am interressed)

The patch line should be:

patch -p1 <rt5592sta_fix_64bit_3.8.patch

This editor confuses < and leaves out the rest of the line :-)

Thanks for the links, wasn't able to find available files
