Since the above indicated a Ralink network controller, I went looking 
for that. Ralink themselves have merged with another company and 
completely destroyed their old website, but I found a driver for the 
Ralink network controller, here:
http://download.driverguide.com/driver/RT3060+RT3062+RT3562+RT3592/Ralink/d1803834.html
I followed all the instructions given in the first post of this thread:

But so far, no wireless connection on restart. All the commands in the 
terminal sequence seemed to run perfectly, but I suppose there might be 
yet more rival drivers to be blacklisted.
