I have a wifi USB dongle which I have previously used on a Raspberry Pi (this it is what it is target at).

I am trying to get it working on an Nvidia Jetson TK1, however I am having some problems.

When I run ifconfig I can't see the wifi, only the ethernet and local loopback.

iwconfig reports no wireless extensions on all devices.

lsusb does find the device:

Bus 002 Device 008: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter

So I am not sure why the network tools can't see it.

I have tried logging on with a GUI and opening up the network settings through Unity, but cannot see any wireless devices either.

Not sure if this is useful, but output of lsmod:

Module                  Size  Used by
nvhost_vi               2940  0

How can I enable wireless networking on this computer?

Command line approach is preferred, but either is fine.

UPDATE

I don't have the kernel module rt2800usb anywhere on my system. If I do an apt-file search for rt2800usb it lists a number of packages of the pattern: linux-image-3.13.0-*.

Perhaps installing one of these will do the trick, but can anyone tell me if its safe to do so?
