On the Hercules eCAFÉ (and probably other i.MX51-based netbooks) the driver will not scan (and ifconfig ra0 up gives a SIOCSIFFLAGS error) until /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat is touched. Use the following commands to workaround this issue: echo options rt2870sta ieee80211_regdom=EU > /etc/modprobe.d/nf SMCWUSBS-N3 users: the region code in this device's NVRAM is invalid (Debian bug 594561), which prevents use of channels 12 and 13. !!!
