sounds interesting, but please tell me more. One hint in advance. Use
the new driver for your Ralink wireless card. Then ra0 changes to eth1.
Now, please paste /etc/network/interfaces.
Do you use a router or just a DSL modem?
Can you manually start your eth0 device? Try (supposing your network is
192.168.1.0:
ifconfig ra0 down
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.5 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 and then ping your router.
