I have added that patch to Rawhide. Unfortunately, it depends on other bits that are not present in the F15 kernels.
It would be prudent to add that patch to the f15 update kernel 2.6.40 (aka 3.0) that davej is building
The 2.6.40 kernel is now pushed into f15. I have confirmed that the "bug" is present there, and thus this has to be reopened.
I'll get this pulled into 2.6.40 today.
kernel-2.6.40.3-0.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.40.3-0.fc15

Sorry to reopen this, but kernel-3.1.6-1.fc16 has forgotten this pci-id again.
I can confirm that kernel '3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64' has "forgotten" this pci-id as can the others in Bug #770474. My device shows pci-id 1814:5390: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. Device [1814:5390] It works under kernels '3.1.5-6.fc16.x86_64' and '3.1.5-2.fc16.x86_64' but is not detected by rt2800pci under kernel '3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64'
Another strange thing that might be related is that there's no sources for rt2800 modules in kernel-devel-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64.
It's rt2800pci (not rt2800) and the source is not fully provided by kernel-devel package. You would need to follow the steps at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel to see the actual c source code for the rt2800pci (rt2800pci.c) driver.

Thanks for the clarificaion Vinay. Yes, that is different then, I see what you mean. I also see the same results: [root@mobile-tek ~ ]# find /usr/src/kernels/ -name 'rt2800pci.h' /usr/src/kernels/3.1.5-6.fc16.x86_64/include/config/rt2800pci.h /usr/src/kernels/3.1.5-2.fc16.x86_64/include/config/rt2800pci.h [root@mobile-tek ~ ]# rpm -qa |grep kernel kernel-devel-3.1.5-6.fc16.x86_64 kernel-devel-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel-headers-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel-devel-3.1.5-2.fc16.x86_64 libreport-plugin-kerneloops-2.0.8-3.fc16.x86_64 abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.5-6.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.5-2.fc16.x86_64 As you can see I have the kernel-devel packages installed for all of my kernels and yet the find command only locates the headers for the previous kernels. Something is wrong there as Vinay has pointed out.
*** Bug 770474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The upstream commit that adds the device ID is 71e0b38c2914018b01f3f08b43ee9e3328197699 and that is included in the final 3.1 release. It's also included in the 3.1.6 stable tree. The compat-wireless stuff was enabled in the 3.1.6 update. Looking in the build logs, I see errors like this: LD [M] /builddir/build/BUILD/kernel-3.1.fc16/compat-wireless-3.2-rc6-3/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800pci.ko FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/modules.dep: No such file or directory FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/modules.dep: No such file or directory which makes me wonder if that module is not getting added to modules.dep and won't autoload.
While headers are also missing on my system, "locate rt2800pci" actually returns a file under a "backports" subfolder of the modules hierarchy: [root@hp-dm1 ~]$ locate rt2800pci /lib/modules/3.1.6-1.fc16.i686/backports/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800pci.ko Also, the release notes for kernel 3.6.1-1 mention this: * Wed Dec 21 2011 John W. Linville <linville at redhat.com> - Revise compat-wireless configuration - Enable with-backports by default - Update compat-wireless snaptshot from verstion 3.2-rc6-3 http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2011-December/071332.html Could this be related to the problem?
I think those "FATAL:..." message from compat-wireless, while disturbing, are just SPAM. I'll see if I can silence them. The actual problem here is that the compat-wireless config didn't enable the option for the PCI IDs of interest here. I just checked-in a change for that in both f16 and rawhide.

kernel-3.1.7-1.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.1.7-1.fc16
I downloaded and installed the kernel and kernel-devel/kernel-headers packages and tested. I can confirm the fix on my setup. I have reviewed my logs after several boots to the new kernel and I see no errors or issues that were not already there in the 3.1.5/3.1.6 kernels either so it looks good. I only installed for testing, I will uninstall now and wait for the kernel to be in the repos :)

karma added and that brought it enough to be pushed to stable updates repo!

it works now
