By the ID, it is a newer chip, RT539x PCIe. None of us has the h/w
(OpenBSD has not supported it either.). No data sheet, no h/w, you are
out of luck, unfortunately. Try NIDS. Or, since you have the h/w, you
can port ralink's driver
http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=3D501
The benefits of porting the driver will be
* lots of people will appreciate your work
* you can brag about the work to your friends
* your curriculum vitae will shine brilliantly
* you might get headhunted by some tech company
* you might get lucky with beastie chicks at the trade shows
