doing a grep will not show adjacent lines that have errors on them.

you need to use the less or more commands and search for those same things and read the lines before and after, to see if there are any errors.

keep searching for the next occurrence, until you reach the end of file

Need to make sure the system sees it as a usable network device.  Do:

iwconfig  ## verifies if the system sees it as a proper 802.11 device, and/or ap association
ip link  ## sees the nic as a real interface
ip addr  ## shows ip layer data, if it has an address
cat /var/log/syslog | grep NetworkManager  ## verfies if network-manager is trying to do anything with it

Also, does the systray applet show the network scanning for any wifi devices?  You should see *some* ssid's being found.

lspci sees SOMETHING at least. It says
03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5362 PCI 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

so it is detected.

The card in the other computer is almost identical It is pci-e wile the one not being detected is a pci card.
