I too would like to confirm this bug and raise it's prio a little higher.

I have a Digitus DN-7006GR wireless card. It is not a DN-7006-RA!

% lspci | grep Ra
00:08.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01)

It is based on the rt2500 chipset.

I am using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10).

The card works fine, except for two things:
. NetworkManager finds it, shows signal strength, shows wireless networks, and attempts to connect. It does not connect however.
. Manual config (System -> Administration -> Network) or similar via the console works fine, except it shows signal strength as 0.

This is a common chipset and really needs to be fixed by now. It seems the correct code could be obtained by borrowing bits from each method!
