Setting up WiFi with the Ralink RT2860 on a Zepto Znote 6024W

[ Thanks to Peter for this link. ]

"Go to Ralink's website at http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html. The latest drivers when writing this is 1.8.0. Download them and untar them somewhere.

"I really recommend you to read the README_STA that comes with the drivers. It tells you how to configure the drivers for your setup, even if they do leave a lot to wish for. The information that I'm sharing here is a mix between that file, as well as the info that can be found in the manpages for wpa_supplicant, wpa_cli, wpa_supplicant.conf and ifup."
