Ralink RT3070 Chipset Driver Version 3.0.0.0 for GM5 WLAN USB Adapter, update on 2010/11/08.
MediaTek RT3070 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi single chip which supports 150 Mbps PHY rate. It fully complies with IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11 b/g standards, offering feature-rich wireless connectivity at high standards, and delivering reliable, cost-effective throughput from an extended distance. Optimized RF architecture and baseband algorithms provide superb performance and low power consumption.
Intelligent MAC design deploys a high efficient DMA engine and hardware data processing accelerators which offloads the host processor. The RT3070 is designed to support standard based features in the areas of security, quality of service and international regulations, giving end users the greatest performance any time and in any circumstance.
I just bought an USB wifi interface with a chipset from Ralink, and got issues on OSX 10.6 (and just that version) when trying to use non-open networks (the Ralink 'Wireless Utility' just quits instead of showing the password pane). I use Raling drivers 3.0 instead of the older (and similarly buggy) ones from the hardware provider, Alfa networks. The 3.0 drivers do work for any OSX. I have no experience with Ralink drivers on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, so I don't know if this helps for you, but maybe you can also use an older version of the USBWirelessUtility to control your driver. This was the solution for my situation (iBook with a PPC G3, OS X 10.4 Tiger).
Ralink didn't compile the WirelessUtility any more for a G3 processor, but the installer worked fine and also the driver could still be used with a G3. I'm now using the Tiger version of USBWirelessUtility 1.4.8.0 with the Tiger version of driver 2.0.0.0. USBWirelessUtility 1.4.8.0 is pre Snow Leopard, but maybe it's worth a try. See my to long howto. I now have experience with OS X 10.6 and my Sitecom WL-329 with a Ralink RT2870 chip. I can't reproduce your problem however, so perhaps the problem is solved in the new driver. I used version 3.0.3.0 of the Ralink driver, which was released, this in combination with OS X 10.6.5.
Ralink 3070 Driver Xp
The driver is for RT2870 /RT2770 /RT307X /RT2070 /RT3572 chips according to the Ralink website. Since both driver and OS are more recently released than your post, I'd suggest to uninstall your previous driver and download and install the newest version. And update to OS X 10.6.5 if you haven't yet. I could successfully setup a network connection to a hidden WEP protected network with version 3.0.0.0 of Ralink Wireless Utility without having to use a Guest account. (I could even do this with the USB Wireless Utility version 1.4.8.0 I mentioned in my previous post. Version 1.4.8.0 doesn't have the WPS tab of its 3.0.0.0 sibling, but I don't use WPS for connecting to my network). Version 2.0.0.0 of the driver didn't install properly on my system.
In 'System Preferences -> Network' I have a new '802.11 n WLAN' interface after inserting the USB stick, you'll have to add it to your services (and don't forget to press 'Apply' after adding the interface). After inserting the USB stick, the Ralink Wireless Utility opened automatically. It took a few seconds after I connected to the network profile from the Ralink Wireless Utility for the '802.11 n WLAN' service/interface became connected. The service went in the Network prefpane from 'no connection' to 'no IP address', back to 'no connection', again to 'no IP address' and finally became 'connected'. I've been going in circles on this same issue for about a year.
Chipset Ralink 3070 Driver
I have an Alfa AWUS036NH USB card with the Ralink 3070 chipset. Trying to use it to connect a MBP4,1 running OSX 10.5.8. I've tried installing several versions of the ralink USBWirelesUtility software/driver with various results, but never a connection to the internet. Some older versions simply opened the wireless utility, failed to connect, then quit. The newer ones, like the latest 10.29.10 build (utility ver.
3.0.0.0; NIC driver ver. 3.0.3.0) mentioned above, appears to work correctly.
The utility opens when I plug in the device. It finds my network, I can enter password for WPA encrypted network, and get a connection. However, in Network preferences, I get an option for 'USB Ethernet (en2)' not '802.11 n WLAN'. And no matter how I've tried to configure it, I still get no connection to internet. If I set it for manual DHCP and pick an IP address within my routers range, Network preferences will show that I have a connection, just like the WirelessUtility app shows I have a connection. But they're lying to me, I still can't actually connect any apps to the internet. I'm at my wits end.
