Hello everyone.
I've installed Trisquel 4.5 on a laptop which previously had Windows 7
installed. The problem I have at the moment is I can't seem to get the
Wireless adaptor working. I have a Ralink rt2860 adaptor and I know the
website has the drivers with full source code available but I'm not sure how
I would go about installing them.

It looks like the Wireless device is this line:

What will I need to do now?
