Your card is not supported. It contains the RT2561/RT61 PCI chipset. It might work with the RT2500 capturesource, depending on:
a) you are using the rt61 legacy ralink drivers from serialmonkey
b) and the rt61 legacy ralink driver from serialmonkey contains RF-mon capability that is initiated by the same ioctls as the rt2500 legacy driver from serialmonkey.
These drivers can be found here : http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads
If you are using a kernel 2.6.24 or higher, you are using the kernel-included rt2x00 driver, which currently aren't supported by kismet.
