Solved my problem. +1 for wicd in the Debian repositories...-10
for gnome-nettool :)
If you are having wireless setup problems, it's the tool to goto.
FWIW, I have a cheap usb wireless adabter with the same identifier
listed in your lsusb (ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370
Wireless Adapter) and it's been working fine with Network Manager in
Gnome (in fallback mode) in wheezy. Haven't needed wicd, or anything
else for that matter, to get it working. (The performance isn't too
great but that's probably due to the driver and/or hardware.)
Well try as I might..I could not get the darned thing to operate.
It was setup properly but I couldn't use it. As I said wicd solved
the problem for me in Debian. On the other hand, I just booted into
Fedora 19 and it recognized the device, set it up..called dhcp and it
was ready and waiting when I reached the desktop. Weird or what.
Anyway, it's good that you solved your problem, whichever way was handy.
Any port in a storm :)
