Unfortunately RT2860 isn't yet supported out of box by Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 alpha 3, but the latest driver from debian source tree works on my eee 901. The installation procedure:
- Download rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb from http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/rt2860-source/download $ wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/r/rt2860-source/rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb
- install source .deb: $ sudo dpkg -i rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb
- compile $ sudo aptitude install debhelper module-assistant $ sudo module-assistant auto-install rt2860
- install the module $ sudo modprobe rt2860sta this should activate the new wireless interface without reboot
- to load the module automatically on each reboot, add rt2860sta to /etc/modules
