It appears it is supported - I have the ralink-firmware installed, but

There has been a recent thread about wireless. Some interesting
information.
I have no idea at all about wireless.
Try 'iwconfig" as root and see what wlan should be seeking. I wore
myself out putting wlan1 in my /etc/network/interfaces and jumping
through all manner of hoops. It should have been wlan2 and when I
changed it, all was well.
Well it's really frustrating! iwconfig output looks ok then again I
am not really sure what I should be looking for.

Solved my problem. +1 for wicd in the Debian repositories...-10 for
gnome-nettool :)
If you are having wireless setup problems, it's the tool to goto.
