Two points of mailing list etiquette:

(1) ALWAYS use the "Reply All" button - NEVER drop any list or individual. If 
your mailer does not have that feature, get a new mailer. People like me do what 
we can to help, but only if our exchange of information is in the public record. 
If you want private consulting, you need to pay for it.

(2) Do not top post. By placing your reply at the bottom, everyone can read in 
natural order. With your reply at the top, one has to scroll down an up.

Your wireless device is the one described by:
> 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink Device [1814:5390]

The appropriate driver for newer kernels is rt2800pci. As you did not provide 
any information regarding kernel or distro information, I have no idea if that 
driver is included in the configuration, or if your kernel is too old to have 
support for the 5390.

I suggest that you contact the mailing list for your distro and find out what it 
takes to support this device on their system. The latest versions of 
compat-wireless should work, but I have no idea if a precompiled version is 
available for your distro.
