The Ralink driver is already the newest. (Hasn't been updated since
sometime in 2004)
/etc/network/interfaces -->

NOTE - Until recently I had only the "dhcp" line in the above. I
rebooted into windows, did an ipconfig and then entered that exact
information in (above) as static ip information. (Yeah, I know the
netmask is non-standard and the gateway is 131 instead of 128 ... but
that is what the working configuation under windows displayed.)
Also, I added the line "auto eth0" to the above, but after a restart
it has disappeared.

It is a DSL modem with both wireless and ethernet. No separate router.

Nope. This didn't work.
I have tried:
ifconfig eth0 up
/etc/init.d/networking restart
I have tried to activate / deactivate either of the eth0 or ra0
interfaces via the GUI. I have rebooted a few times as well. Nothing
has had any effect other than sometimes turning OFF the wireless.
