It is a known issue and there are instructions to install manually a driver at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1220146/comments/125
Thank you, the link above works fine, if the error "I do not know how to handle rt2x00 ..." appears while trying
sudo dkms add –m rt2x00 –v VV
sudo dkms build –m rt2x00 –v VV
sudo dkms install –m rt2x00 –v VV
sudo dkms install –m rt2x00 –v VV --force
Try instead:
sudo dkms add rt2x00/VV
sudo dkms build rt2x00/VV
sudo dkms install rt2x00/VV
sudo dkms install rt2x00/VV --force
At least it worked for me.
