Same problem here, using a Linksys WMP54G (also rt2500) card in a desktop machine (AMD64, but using 32 bit edgy). The card works fine for me in Dapper with the following in my /etc/network/interfaces:
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid XXXXXXXXX
pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set Channel=7
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="YYYYYYYYYY"
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0

I can reboot to provide more information if anything else would be useful.
