That is the version of the *firmware* package, firmware-ralink.  The
driver is in the *kernel* package, linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 (and
similarly named packages for different processor types).

Please ensure you have that kernel package installed and uninstall
Ralink's driver.  Then reboot and test whether the frequency 2.472 GHz
is supported.

To confirm that you are using the right driver, please send the output
of these commands:

readlink /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver
/sbin/modinfo rt2870sta
dmesg
