I'm running 12.04 and do not have a clue how to set up my wireless card. The strange thing is the box says that it's made by netis. But on a query (lspci) of the device, it says:

01:02.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 5362

I guess Ralink manufactured their chips. I looked on the NETIS site, and they only have a windows driver. I looked on the Ralink site, which has moved, and they do not have a driver for that device or model number.

Could someone suggest a driver that might work as far as the ralink ones go or is there a workaround maybe?

Hoping someone else has some time and can walk a newb through this task.

rt2800pci is a project produced by the rt2x00 driver that supports the PCI chipset Ralink 802.11n. you can see the list of supported devices by typing:

modinfo rtl2800pci

this is the output (apart the kernel version):

Mount the drivers in the kernel

sudo modprobe rt2800pci

type dmesg for print kernel message on your screen.

Here you can find the project page

If it does not work you can try the manufacturer's drivers. Here is driver page.

Another possibility is to use ndiswrapper, but i'm not sure it is work. There are many guides on the internet that you can find easily. This one is here

I hope this helps

I am answering my own question. Nothing would get that card to work. I am returning it today and in the meantime using a USB network card from Level1 that worked immediately after installing with WINE. Thank you all for trying to help.
