Getting ralink driver working?



Hi. I just installed Testing on a new machine, so it's running 2.6.38-2-amd64 #1.

I cant seem to get my wireless card working at all. The card is:

$ lspci -nn | grep Network
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. RT3092 Wireless 802.11n 2T/2R PCIe [1814:3092]

The page http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi says that the RT3092 card is supported by the rt2860sta driver, and the wiki page on that driver says to install wireless-tools and firmware-ralink. I did this. But wireless still doesn't show up, ifconfig and iwconfig don't show that any wireless thing exists. If i try to load module directly:

$ sudo modprobe rt2860sta
FATAL: Module rt2860sta not found.

even though firmware-ralink is installed.

Is there something i need to do to activeate this card? 

Thank you and sorry for newbish question!
