[Bradford] Install a wireless device on linux machine

[David Parkin]

Aren't the ralink drivers supplied as modules with a name beginning rt* ? If so the command lsmod should show whether or not it has been loaded. If not insmod is the command to load it. Type man lsmod to find out more.

From a bit of googling, it looks like it's an ralink chip of some sort.
The rt2x00 drivers have been in-kernel since 2.6.24, but the USB id may
be new and/or Ubuntu may not have enabled them until later than 8.04.
The obvious advice is to upgrade to 8.10, particularly as there's a
comment on the play.com forum that it 'just works' in the 'latest'
Ubuntu (why are these damn lusers never *specific*?).  But the advice to
upgrade will probably go down like a bucket of cold sick on this mailing
list.  Oh well.

-D.
