Bug#658067: Device ID missing from Firmware-Ralink
Package: linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
Version: 3.2.15-1
I can confirm this bug in sid running kernel
$ uname -a
Linux volticor 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 16:47:38 UTC 2012 x86_64
GNU/Linux
I am able to get the device working easily enough by a slight
modification of the above fix for squeeze:
First load the module since it won't load automatically (note you need
the non-free firmware-ralink package installed):
$ modprobe rt2800usb
Second tell the module to assoicate with the usbID of the device:
$ echo "1737 0078" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id
After that I am able to use the wireless device normally.
