Hi Mark. Maybe this is what you are looking for? https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb Uses the "firmware-misc-nonfree" package from the "non-free" repositories.

I have a USB wi-fi device from AusPi which comes up as the following from sudo lsusb: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter My question is whether I can get the Debian 7 package and unpack for the firmware, then use that on a Debian 9 system. The reason is that the Debian 7 is a laptop with built in wi-fi, whereas the Debian 9 is a desktop that currently does not have net access, until I can implement wi-fi, or get the cradle for the mobile modem. I am not averse to networking the two computers, but the laptop is using Network Manager to get the wi-fi connection, and Network Manager prioritises the wired connection for the external network connection and assumes that the wi-fi is a local network. Yes, I can set the wired ethernet as unmanaged and set manually, but that too has issues, along with current desk space to run both computers.
