Try the following, which was suggested in another thread in reply to a similar problem. In my case it solved a problem similar to yours, on my MSI Wind U200.

1. (As root) Edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the below lines to it…
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib

2. Reboot.

The "blacklist" lines prevent the listed kernel modules from being loaded and allows the "correct" module to load.

Good luck. Whether or works or not could you please report the results here?
