RaLink RT2600 SIOCSIFFLAGS Error Ater Upgrade to Hardy

I have a PCI wireless network card. It worked perfectly fine in Gusty. I got a new HDD recently and installed Hardy from scratch, and now the wireless card isn't working. Whenever I try to bring up the interface, I get the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory". I configure everything from the command line, and NetworkManager is disabled.

Here's the output from multiple commands:

sudo lscpi:

sudo lshw -C network:
