How to use RT2870 USB wireless adapter?
I need help to get a Ralink RT2870 usb wireless network adapter working in puppy slacko 5.7.0
It came with a disk and says it has a linux driver but i dont understand the instructions or how to install it. the drivers in network wizard dont seem to work

It could be a firmware issue. Look at /lib/firmware: have you in that dir rt2870.bin? I attach it. Remove the fake .gz.
Later: I have booted my frugal slacko 5.7. In /lib/firmware rt2870.bin is symlink to a kernel module. Try to rename rt2870.bin.old that link and move the attached rt2870.bin in /lib/firmware.
Edit2: I have found a pemasu's suggestion about the right driver to use. Read also:
