I then ran lspci -nn and found the wireless card was a RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g.

Based on my wireless card, I was linked to this
new guide. I ran an aptitude update.
Code:

Then it said to install firmware-ralink wireless-tools. This is where I started to run into problems because it couldn't find the firmware-ralink package.

The rest of the guide continued to fail.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this working? Thank you for your help!
