RaLink RT2600 on Hardy Not Working

I have a PCI wireless network card. It worked perfectly fine in Gusty.
I got a new HDD recently and installed Hardy from scratch, and now the
wireless card isn't working. Whenever I try to bring up the interface,
I get the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory".

Here's the output from multiple commands:
