Opensuse linux and D-link DWA-525 (RaLink 3060 based)

Recently i've upgraded wifi network card to D-link DWA-525 based on RaLink 3060 chipset which is wifi-N capable. But my Opensuse 11.4 wasn't able to detect it. There is two ways to solve this problem - first is to download chipset driver from ralink's site ( http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501 ), setup, compile it and use. But it seems to be in a beta state because after installation it spams your logs with debug messages (can be disabled by removing -DDBG from config.mk but anyway i don't trust drivers with debug mode turned on by default). Second and proper way in my opinion is to install ralink drivers from repositories. Search for the "ralink-firmware" on  http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=ralink-firmware  and "one click install" will do all the job for you.
