Ralink Wi-Fi adapter not working on monitor mode

Hello everyone! Please help me with setting up my Ralink adapter! (It doesn't work in monitoring mode.) More precisely, with finding a driver for it. On similar posts there was a link to a package from AUR that now gives error 404. When building the official driver, I get an error:

make -C tools
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/marti/Desktop/RT2870/rt3572sta/tools'
gcc -g bin2h.c -o bin2h
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/marti/Desktop/RT2870/rt3572sta/tools'

Here is the output of dmesg regarding this adapter:

Re: Ralink Wi-Fi adapter not working on monitor mode

What is the AUR package that is gives the 404 error? Please provide a URL for the official driver that is producing the issue. What is the VID:PID of the adapter? What happens when you attempt to enable monitor mode using the in tree kernel module?
