If you can't find the model of your wifi card in your PC's manual, you can always check it in windows.
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Select the wifi card > Right-click properties > Details > Hardware Ids
This should give you a string identifying the model's vendor, number, etc...
DEV_xxxx : xxx should be the model number
Go to Downloads - MediaTek (official support page of Ralink for drivers)
Locate your driver for the corresponding number and voila.
