the new driver does not work with my card. It does not even register a net device (ifconfig -a doesn't show the device).

Why is the legacy driver (which is in feisty, and in the old gutsy kernel, and still works perfectly, albeit without networkmanager) not included? There is the rt2500-source package, but that even fails to compile, and if I port to 2.6.22 (a few obvious changes), this driver locks up the machine hard. I'm going to try to compile the feisty rt2500 legacy driver sources for the new 2.6.22-6 gutsy kernel (I'm still booting the 2.6.20 kernel in gutsy).
