Ralink rt3060 cant find network Ubuntu 11.10

[Reded]

Hey all, I bought a new wireless card recently, and it doesn't seem to find any networks in Network manager. When I try to 'connect to a hidden network' it just never gets anywhere.

I've put all the commands in the sticky into terminal, this is what they all returned:

ubuntu 11.10

3.0.0-12-generic x86_64

I noticed where it says driver=rt2800pci after the lshw command doesn't seem to match what the Network Manager says, not sure if that could be the issue...

I'm a serious newbie when it comes to Ubuntu, not been running it too long, so please feel free to dumb down anything answers to any extent you feel necessary!

Any help is appreciated.

[praseodym]

Please show:

lsmod
dmesg | grep rt2
iwconfig
rfkill list
sudo iwlist scan

[Reded]

Already posted iwconfig + sudo iwlist scan..

I'll post the others when I get back on Linux, mostly posting this to make sure the thread doesn't die - I'm on Windows for a couple days while I fix something up on there, thanks!

[Reded]

Alright, been away for a bit had to clean-install Ubuntu, don't ask..

Editting my first post to contain all the info now.

[Reded]

All editted. Hope this gets sorted at some point! Thanks.

[praseodym]

Which device ID does the card have?

lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net

please. If it is "1814:3060" there is an installation procedure here (copy/paste it line by line):

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
wget http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum/attachments/2814031/angepasster-DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tar.gz
tar xzvf angepasster-DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tar.gz
cd angepasster-DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217/
sudo make
sudo make install
echo "blacklist rt2800pci" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2800pci.conf
sudo modprobe -rfv rt2800pci
sudo modprobe -v rt3562sta

[Reded]

Device is working fine, thanks a bunch!

I got drivers with the card, but the installation instructions didn't seem to be for Ubuntu (Or at least not for 11.10) And that just confused me further, your list of commands worked perfectly, thanks again

EDIT:

Now I'm getting that old problem where it cuts me off when I try to download anything big. I've tried the iwconfig power off command, doesn't seem to fix it!

Like I said the Wireless Card is working now - it just disconnects whenever I download something big (Similar to the power management issue I always get when I fresh-install Ubuntu - I've tried the usual fix for that, apparently ra0 doesn't support that operation!

[praseodym]

You can change the power management in a file. Please show:

cat /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless
