Did you read the wiki? check to see if your fcc id matches to the one on the wiki. Someone brought that to my attention the other day about this same device not being able to pick up any APs despite having ralink chipset.
Hello,
I've got a Belkin F5D7050B which I'm having some problems with. I can put it into monitor mode with no problems but when I run airodump-ng rausb0 I get no networks even though I'm sitting right next to my own. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks

i have the belkin F5D9050B which is a slightly new model and got it working ok after reading some material on here
when you first start backtrack you need to configure the card, open a console
modprobe -r rt73
modprobe rt73
airmon-ng stop rausb0
ifconfig rausb0 down
macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 rausb0
ifconfig rausb0 up
airmon-ng start rausb0
iwconfig rausb0 rate 1m
after this, your airodump-ng rausb0 command should work
I actually got it working in the end. Just had to plug it in after boot, unplug it, and then plug it back in once more to get scan results.
