My PCI card vendor is RaLink RT2760 and the product ID is 1814:0701. When I issue the command dmesg | less I find several messages stating “rt2860 0000:02:09.0: firmware file rt2860.bin request failed (-2) ERROR! NICLoadFirmware failed, Status=0x00000001]”. I do not understand what this error message is trying to tell me or how I should go about correcting it. If anyone has any insight on how to resolve my wireless issues I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
Thanks

The message is telling you that you have not installed the firmware, and that
you need to have a file named rt2860.bin in /lib/firmware.
With a network connection (wired), issue the command
sudo zypper install kernel-firmware
That will install the file you need.
