copy paste those line, in Terminal enter sudo then shift + insert to paste the command in.

First is

sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/

Next

sudo touch /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat

lastly

sudo service network-manager restart

Just type/copy-paste those in

I still have "No connection detected" or something of that sort.

It's okay, I found a solution, I followed the steps and got it working after reboot.

I did however face 1 'error' after i typed in this:
------
Step 6
Rename the old rt2860sta.ko driver file to rt2860sta.ko.dist using:


sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/rt2860sta.ko rt2860sta.ko.dist


Attention: you need to replace the * with the actual directory name of your kernel, please check the folder name with Nautilus.


Step 7
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe rt2860sta


After you issue the previous command you should see the Desktop top panel wireless icon come to life as it tries to connect. You will be prompted for a WPA password. Give it a little while and it should connect.


Not sure this command is necessary but you can use if the Wireless isn’t started automatically.
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

-------

I had a problem with step 6, it said missing module or something.
In addition, I did not see the wireless activate.
I did however proceed on and continued with all the other commands/steps.
And I rebooted, wireless turned on.
Now it's working.
