Ralink RT3060 wireless device configuration on ubuntu 12.04

concerning How do I get a Ralink RT3060 wireless card working?
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with a 'LWPX07 Edimax EW-7711In 150M 1T1R WL PCI Card' which has a rt3060 chip. Out of the box the card is recognized as rt2800sta. I tried solution one, that didn't work. Still the card connects to the wireless network, but it seems to slow to load any pages.
Then I tried solution 2, but then the network-manager doesn't see any wireless device.
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
ra0 Ralink STA
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0

05:02.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3060 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R
Subsystem: Edimax Computer Co. Device 7711
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 23

Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: rt2860
Kernel modules: rt3562sta, rt2800pci
Am I missing a configuration step? How do I tell the network card which driver to use?
Thanks in advance Stephan
I found the problem. As described in stevens blog http://steveswinsburg.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/how-to-install-a-d-link-dwa-525-wireless-network-card-in-ubuntu-10-04/
sudo su
make && make install
"You need to use ‘sudo su’ and not just ‘sudo’ so it creates the directories properly." That is the problem with the solution describe above.
