# uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 06:57:55 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

This version of Linux DOES indeed support rt2xxx chipsets, so I am at a loss
as to why it is not detecting your USB wifi device which has this chipset.

iwconfig should have shown that the device wlan0 along with statistics (such as Not Associated)....etc.

It could be that the device was either not plugged in when you booted
or the device is broken (or worse, your USB port is broken).

Should I?

Yes indeed you should. That's how you will get all the
bug fixes. So, if you can connect via an Ethernet cable
to your router,  then by all means, you should
su root
  and
yum -y update

asap.


Thank you


You're welcome
