(SOLVED) Unable to connect wireless network from HP-g6-221

I'm using Zorian 6.1 ultimate on HP - Pavilion g6-2212sa

I had tried installing windows wireless drivers, broadcom STA wireless drivers nothing works.

I think im doing something very basic wrong

Your wireless card is Ralink corp. Device [1814:539b].
This card needs the driver called "rt2800pci". Therefore, uninstall or delete any other module you installed/loaded regarding broadcom drivers.

The driver rt2800pci comes preinstalled in kernel 3.5.0. You are currently using (I suppose) kernel 3.2.0 and this is why you card is not working by default.
Therefore, I recomend that you upgrade to kernel 3.5.0 and hopefully your card will automatically be recognized.
To do so, open terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal

After installation is finished, reboot and you will automatically load kernel 3.5.0.
Check if your wireless is working.
You may need to run in terminal

sudo modprobe rt2800pci

Thank you it worked amazing

But after every restart it works only if I re-execute the command sudo modprobe rt2800pci

Is this is the expected behaviour?

I can tell you how to make the laptop load it automatically.

Open terminal an run:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

A file will open.
At the end of this file, on a separate line, add the word

rt2800pci

Save the file, exit, reboot and see if your wireless springs to life automatically!
Let me know if it worked.

Thank you it worked

Great!
