The kernel thinks rt2800usb is the correct driver but no network
interface is created. Maybe it has slipped up. Remove it and rt2x00usb
(rmmod or modprobe -r) and try rt2870sta.
On the other hand 1737:0078 isn't mentioned on the wiki page so support
in Squeeze may not quite up to the mark. This chipset does appear to
have given rise to problems in the past.
Works on Ubuntu? A different kernel etc.
