Is there a manual way to make it use the legacy driver (which Christian Bjälevik reports works OK)? By the legacy driver I assume you are referring to

/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/net /wireless/rt2x00-legacy/rt2500/rt2500.ko

I've tried a few things but been unable to get ra0 up as under dapper.

I've added rt61pci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to ensure there is no conflict

I've added the file /etc/modprobe.d/rt2500 with contents of

alias ra0 rt2500

I've tried manually doing modprobe of rt2500. I've tried adapting bits of http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=899 - I've loaded ieee80211, rate-control and rt2500 (in that order), but so far nothing has worked. But even after that, ifconfig -a and iwconfig do not report any wireless interfaces.

(lspci -v reports the chip is RaLink RT2561/RT61 )

Any clues? Otherwise I may have to regress to dapper :(
