Ralink rt3090 pcie wireless driver

Hi all,
Does scientific linux have any pre-built rt3090 wireless driver (rpm format?)?
I recently bought a desktop computer and installed scientific linux. Since it is live CD and doesn't support rt3090, while I don't have wired network at home, what should I do about this?
Thanks in advance!

There is a rt3090sta driver in ELRepo. Don't know if it will work though but it's worth a try! Just go here and navigate to i386 or x86_64 as needed and download the RPM. Note that the driver may depend on one of the firmware files as well, though I don't know how to check that beforehand.

ELRepo is good for additional hardware packages.

Trial and error. Just download the package and install it.
Depending which dependencies it has you will get notified instantly

Thanks, I finally reinstalled the system with all the compilation tools and compiled it. worked fine so far!

Hi!
I use Scientific Linux 6.3 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64
I have HP laptop with

CODE

lspci 02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

I installed driver from ElRepo. It required by dependencies older kernel 2.6.32-131.6.1 so I downgraded on it from kernel 2.6.32-279.22.1.
After installation of driver network manager says Wireless networks wireless disabled.
Here is output of some utilities:

Device is enabled in BIOS and by appropriate button on keyboard.
Maybe I should use another tool for initialize device?
Also I am embarrassed by

in ifconfig output.

Thanks in advance.
