Hey all - I've been playing around with debian on my dockstar. I can bring the interface up with "$ ifconfig wlan1 up" but cannot scan for networks. It shows no results.
wlan1 No scan results
The driver "rt2800usb" is loading when the device is plugged into the dockstar. Is it the right one? Here is the output of some commands.

I've been digging pretty deep on the internet to find a solution, but nothing I try works. Maybe I should just get another wireless with a different chipset?
