> Some later models of the Wind come with the Ralink RT2860 wifi card, which
> is not currently supported by default. The driver is in the Debian unstable
> repository. To install it, follow the following steps, based on these
> instructions:
>
> Download the package:
> http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/rt2860-source/download and then install
> the source package. After that, execute the following commands to build and
> install the driver and to ensure that the driver modules are loaded at boot
> time:
>
> sudo aptitude install debhelper module-assistant
> sudo m-a a-i rt2860
> sudo modprobe rt2860sta
> sudo echo rt2860sta >> /etc/modules
>
> You should then be able to configure your wireless connection with the
> NetworkManager applet.
>
> Don't forget to actually enable the Wireless card by using Fn-F11
