RT2870 wifi issues

Everytime I attempt to connect to a wireless network, the Network-Manager app takes forever to connect but never succeeds.
Apparently, RT2800usb and RT2870sta drivers compete to operate your wireless card resulting in no wireless connectivity.

The solution is to simply add the line

blacklist rt2800usb
in the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"

P.S.: If you want to compile your own to improve data transfer...
