An external dongle or built in to the laptop ?

The ubt(4) device is Bluetooth, not wifi.

There are chips available that do both wifi and Bluetooth, so it isn't
too strange that telling the BIOS to disable wifi could affect
Bluetooth as well.

Does the Ralink wifi device show up if you run usbdevs(8) ?

There are a number of newer Ralink devices that are not supported by
the run(4) driver in 7.0 and -current, I have patches against -current
to add support for a few more.
