Hello,
I just bought a wifi USB key on eBay.
The key has no brand.
I paid €6 for it.
My PC runs on Windows XP.
I can't install this key even with the provided CD.
It seems that it can't find the necessary drivers.
The computer recognizes a new device connected, but it shows up with a yellow question mark.

Do you have a solution?
THANK YOU to everyone who will try to help me.

    Hello, in the device manager, on the hardware with the exclamation point, right-click > properties, in the details tab choose hardware identification, and tell us what you find after VEN and DEV, for example PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168.

      This is the Ralink RT2870 family, the latest drivers are available at
      http://www.station-drivers.com/page/ralink.htm

      You need to take the RT2870 from the Windows2000/Xp 32 column.

      Bonjour, j'ai également acheté un dongle USB wifi, j'ai USB\VID_148F&PID_7601\1.0 et je voudrais installer le driver pour Linux. Est-ce qu'un driver pour un Ralink 2870 fonctionne pour plusieurs clés ou seulement pour un modèle ? Sur le site que yoannzep a partagé, il n'y a que des drivers pour Windows.
