It can be helpful if you can find a live distro where wifi works so you get full details of the chips ID and name of a working driver. There are 160 reports that include ralink network/wireless, some working, some not working. For some chips where the vendor doesn't support current kernels there are multiple projects to provide drivers for current kernels, but you may need to try several different drivers to find one that fits your use case. -- George N.
