Wireless usb device not working



I recently purchased a Linksys wireless USB device.

When I plug it in and run lsusb I see the following:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1737:0078 Linksys WUSB100 v2 RangePlus Wireless
Network Adapter [Ralink RT3070]


I install firmware-ralink and wireless-tools  after checking the
Debian Wiki and determining that the RT3070 uses the ralink firmware
package.

After this I ran lsmod and got the following back:

usbcore                98969  7
usb_storage,rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd


dmesg shows me this:
[ 4850.724093] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
[ 4850.884967] usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=1737, idProduct=0078
[ 4850.884974] usb 1-7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 4850.884979] usb 1-7: Product: Linksys RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter
[ 4850.884982] usb 1-7: Manufacturer: Cisco-Linksys LLC
[ 4850.885182] usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice


However, even after rebooting the machine, wlan0 or ra0 are not
created and I cannot use the card.

I created /etc/modprobe.d/ralink.conf with:
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2x00usb

after doing some searching online, but that didn't change anything.

In the testing phase, I downloaded Ubuntu and ran the live CD and the
wireless dongle works just fine.

I am not sure what I need to do to get this device working in Debian.
I am running a minimal install of Squeeze with Openbox (no DE behind
or in front of it).

Any help or tips would be appreciated.
