I just switched over to openSUSE about a week ago from Ubuntu and I just purchased an Asus N13 PCI-E wireless network adapter which uses an RALink 2860 chipset. I plugged it in and openSUSE was able to detect it and everything but when I went to go configure it using YaST, it wouldn’t be able to scan for networks.
So, I reinstalled my old adapter, downloaded the latest source from RALink and compiled the drivers. When I tried to use insmod on the new .ko that was compiled, I got the “Could not allocate memory” error.
If you need dmsg logs or anything else, I can reinstall the card and get those.
And of course, right when I post this I find an answer and it’s all working :shame: . Sorry about that guys, I just needed the ralink-firmware package. This can be closed. Great first impression

I do not debug vendor drivers.
Install the latest compat-wireless and use the rt2800pci driver for your ASUS N13.
Did you try scanning for networks from the GUI using NetworkManager? Did
you try using the command line options:
sudo /usr/sbin/iw dev wlan1 scan trigger
sudo /usr/sbin/iw dev wlan1 scan dump
Good luck.
