Network manager doesn't give me the "enable wireless" option.

lspci returns:

iwconfig:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

I tried following the steps I quoted in comment #91, but when I got to the 'make' stage, i got the following errors:

What are my next steps?

ok could we please see a

lspci -nn | grep network

could you also uninstall all mod/driver that you have all ready tried lets also make sure that there is nothing in the way

rfkill list all

thanks

[Samzystrange]

both of those commands return nothing

Thanks! Next?

Oh, if I do lspci -nn | grep -i network, I get
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. Device [1814:5390]

what kind of computer is this and is this 32 or 64 bit ?
could we also see a

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
