  Ralink RT2860[1814:0781] Wireless card worked in 10.10, stopped

Bug description:
  Till Now,
  I was running Ubuntu 10.10 & Today, I have installed 12.04 & my wifi stopped working. It was a fresh install(not a upgrade). Wireless gets detected as RT2790 & show available network but doesn't not connect to any wireless network(tried secured & unsecured) for some strange reason.

  here is the lspci outout from Ubuntu 10.10 where my wireless card was
  working:

  01:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2860
      Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 130f
      Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
      Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
      Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 4 bytes
      Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16
      Region 0: Memory at fd9f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
      Capabilities: <access denied>
      Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci
      Kernel modules: rt2860sta, rt2800pci

  you can find the lspci output of 12.04 where the same card doesn't
  work as attachment. Interesting thing to notice here is: the same card
  gets detected as two different chipsets(RT2790 vs RT2860)

  the Wireless card in question here is: Asus PCE-N10 Wireless PCI
  Express
  Adapter(http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/PCEN10/) with
  device id:  [1814:0781].  I think chipset in this card is RT2860(not
  RT2790). I further suspect this wrong detection in Ubuntu 12.04 is the
  reason that it doesn't connect/work.

  So, Please let me know if my suspicion is correct? If yes, then what I
  need to do to fix this mess & get my wireless card working in Ubuntu
  12.04?
