Issues With WUSB600N Adapter in 11.10

[Prorator]

After updating from 11.04 to 11.10 my wireless adapter (WUSB600N) doesn't work.

The issues are similar to the problems I had with it in 11.04 (found here), and were solved by blacklisting rt2800usb. In 11.10, however, the wireless manager isn't even displaying the adapter as connected, and rt2800usb and rt2870sta cannot be found.

If it helps:
lsmod

I am going to test it now. But I have another wirelles USB device. Mine is Intelinet 150N (lspci shows RT3070). But work command for me. Should I still mark it solved, when my USB WiFi is another brand?

So the usb that is working is not the WUSB600N Adapter then?
Thank you

Hi, shut down your computer then unplug the usb adapter you are using then plugin the WUSB600N Adapter and it should work also I would appreciate if you let me know.
