May try:

lspci | grep -i net

May show maybe not. That's an old adapter, huh?

Don't we already know what his adapter is?

Please try these two commands in exact order:

sudo modprobe rt2800usb
dmesg | grep rt2

There must be some sign that, at least, the module loaded.

Even on my system, which doesn't have your device, I get:

$ sudo modprobe rt2800usb
[sudo] password for chili:
$ dmesg | grep rt2
[ 7090.480905] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usb

In your case, the driver ought to do more than appear, it ought to create an interface, ra0, perhaps. The output from dmesg will tell us whats going on inside the system and why, if not, your wireless is not starting up.
