So I have followed the instructions for installing the rt2800usb drivers (https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb) on my desktop machine running Debian Stretch, and the device (Panda Wireless PAU06) appears to be recognized correctly, and I can even see my wireless network in the list, but when I attempt to connect to it (secured with WPA2-AES), it says "configuring interface" for a few seconds before saying the connection has been "deactivated."
It appears that the correct drivers are being used, as shown by this output from lshw:
Code: Select all

Any further troubleshooting I can do here to figure out what the problem is?
