You said you hadn't installed any additional software to get your
wireless working, but this says otherwise. You had installed some other
driver for your wireless, but it has stopped working. You should remove
this module using the following command:

  sudo dpkg --purge oem-wireless-rt2x00-1044172-dkms

Then try installing the backports package again.
