I'm not sure if it's the right place to mention that, but I have exactly
the same kind of problem with :

- wifi usb dongle with *ralink* rt2500usb chipset

and

- pci wifi card with *ralink* rt28xxpci

The first one has worked for me from ubuntu 08.04 till ubuntu 12.04.02
(or .03)

The second one is part of a newer pc and has never fully worked since
ubuntu 12.04.02 (or .03) neither on 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04

Problems are the same for both cards : they see networks, can connect,
but wifi rates are so low than it's non usable.

I have tried to compile linux-drivers provided by ralink but I'm not
skilled enough and had no success. Those drivers were designed for 2.6.x
kernel you can find here http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/

Also tried with ndiswrapper, not better.
