Statler- Install WiFi drivers for USB RT 3070 chip?

Please can anyone explain how to install these drivers so that a wireless usb card will operate?

Here are the instructions for Ubuntu but the file names do not compare?

'    Your adapter has a Ralink RT3070 chipset. You can download the official Linux drivers from this site.

    We'll suppose the driver has been downloaded to your Downloads folder and is called 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2. Open a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T, and type or paste the following:

    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
    cd Downloads
    tar -xjf 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO
    cd 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO
    sudo make && sudo make install
    make clean
    cd ..
    rm -rf 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO

    Reboot, and hopefully your wireless connection will appear!'

Many thanks

There is nothing Ubuntu-specific in the instructions you published.
This may work on statler.
If it does not work, compat-wireless may be an alternative.
