Ralink 802.11n WLAN acinzentado

Question

Eu vou precisar começar a usar o WiFi no meu sistema Ubuntu em breve, mas meu WiFi onboard é muito lento e ruim. No entanto, o Ubuntu não está me deixando usar meu cartão WiFi. Eu não tenho certeza do que fazer, tentei investigar o problema e instalar drivers, etc., sem sucesso. Eu digitei o comando rfkill e é isso que mostra:

swaganater@Kenney4Linux:~$ rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
2: phy1: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

Além disso, quando faço sudo lshw -C network , é isso que mostra:

waganater@Kenney4Linux:~$ sudo lshw -C network

Estou executando o Ubuntu 16.04 e não tentei usar o cartão WiFi antes, mas sei que o próprio cartão funciona no meu sistema Windows. Eu sou meio sem noção do que está errado neste momento, então se alguém poderia me ajudar, eu ficaria muito grato.
