Ok. So the device doesn't have a driver loaded, so it is a kernel

doesn't know what the device ID is. Can you please run, to find out
what this ID is:
$> lspci --nn > ~/pcilist.txt
and copy the pcilist.txt to the email?
rowan@rowan-Compaq-CQ58-Notebook-PC:~$ lsmod

Hmm, this looks to be part of the Ralink vendor driver, which
shouldn't be here if we're trying to use the native kernel one. Is it
possible to remove this? ('sudo rmmod rt3562sta').

Hi, Mark. Thanks for the thoughts.
~/pcilist.text: No such file or directory
rt3562sta is the driver I tried to install myself, following the
instructions of jackoneill87 here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1850267
This still seems to be the best online set of instructions for the
problem, and I still think it has identified the correct driver for the
part. But I can uninstall easily enough if you want. I still have the
package sitting in my Home folder. It glories in the full name of:
DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217
I did not get it from Ralink themselves, since as I said their downloads
site seems to have completely vanished. I got it from here:
http://download.driverguide.com/driver/RT3060+RT3062+RT3562+RT3592/Ralink/d1803834.html
As far as I can recall, I managed to extract it with the Archive
Extractor, on the second or third attempt. Then I tried to install it,
but without success, in that the Network Controller remained Unclaimed,
and no wireless options appeared in the system tray when clicking the
fan icon.
cheers,
Rowan
