Run the following:

lsmod > lsmod.txt

and post the lsmod.txt file.

lsmod.txt

lsmod shows nothing other than your RealTek ethernet card.

It seems your Ralink RT2070 USB device is not included in wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tczm so you will have to compile.

If you could post or attach the errors it would help us help you.

Some things to check:

1. compiletc, perl5 and bash extensions are loaded
2. linux-headers-2.6.29.1-tinycore extension is loaded
