RaLink RT2500 does not work for me either with kernel 2.6.22-12.
Rebooting with version 2.6.22-11 fixes the problem as a workaround..
Installed versions:
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12 version 2.6.22-12.31
linux-image-2.6.22-12-generic version 2.6.22-12.39

I noticed the following in dmesg when booting 2.6.22-12:

[ 50.726234] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:09.0[A] -> Link [APC2] -> GSI 17 (level, high) -> IRQ 21

Seems to me something somewhere must have changed due to the mentioned missing symbols...

This is the output for the same card when booting 2.6.22-11:

[ 37.916214] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:09.0[A] -> Link [APC2] -> GSI 17 (level, high) -> IRQ 21
