Just to add when I plug the dongle in I get the following from lsusb

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter

In the past if I was missing drivers in Ubuntu I just installed Linux Firmware Non Free but that doesn't seem to be allowed now.

Obviously I need to find a source to download the necessary driver or build and install one. Is there a way I can achieve this.
