Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter not functioning

[maggg]

Hi, I'm not sure if this the right area for this, so sorry in advance if it isn't

I have a Raspberry PI and I originally installed PwnPi on it and I was successfully able to set my RT5370 dongle to monitor mode, but now when I installed Kali, iwconfig shows that wlan0 has no wireless extensions

Heres ifconfig:

And here is my lsmod, I installed the ralink-firmware using apt-get install

I cant set it to monitor using ifconfig or airmon-ng, and in PwnPi it showed up correctly, but in Kali it shows Link encap: Ethernet?

I'm sort of new with the Pi and Kali-stuff, so I can't figure out why it's not working on this distro, I've run apt-get upgrade and upgrade-distro
But I still cant get it to monitor mode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT: I actually got it working, turns out iwconfig is deprecated and you should use iw in Kali, I followed instructions in here to get everything set up and working.

I don't know if this thread should be deleted in case anyone else has the same problems.
