I think I have the upstream kernel now, but the problem still seems to
be in place.

** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream

** Description changed:

  The i386 has a  Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI wireless card.
  However, the installation process seems unable to use it to find any
  wireless networks, not even open networks.  Same goes after booting and
  trying manually.
