I'm trying to get a D-link dwa-125 wireless USB adapter to work.
As directed by the Bluewater manual, I ran fw-detect and followed the instructions to install firmware-ralink and to run modprobe multiple times. Every time I ran modprobe, I got the same error message:
Quotelibkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:684 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf line 6: ignoring bad line starting with 'fb'
FATAL: Module rt2800lib is in use.
Networking is not my strength, and I have no idea what to do next. Help!
In case it helps, here is the complete fw-detect output:
QuoteDetected driver that requires firmware to operate
-------------------------------------------------
#
# Follow these instructions to obtain the correct firmware
# and activate the rt2800lib driver:
apt-get update
apt-get install firmware-ralink
modprobe -r rt2800lib
modprobe rt2800lib
You must first configure apt to install this non-free software,
refer to the offline manual that came with this distribution.

Provide the output of
lsmod | grep ralink
That might help someone of the experts here.
That produces no output.
Let's have a look at the file /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf -- there seems to some issue with it.
Upon opening the case, it turned out that the laptop has an internal wireless card that had been unplugged. :-\ After fixing that, everything works fine—without needing the wireless adapter.
Thanks, everyone!
