Comment 7 for bug 126632

Rt2x00 development should be back on track according to the news page, and has been for some time.

As of today's gutsy, rt2500 chipset seems to work, with the rt2x00 driver, for open and WEP networks via network-manager, which is better than not working at all or the legacy driver that doesn't work with network-manager. Connecting to WPA network does not seem to work on my computer.

According to linux-ubuntu-modules changelog last update to rt2x00 driver was done on 28th of July. Over at the wireless-dev, there's now 2.0.8 release available, which should offer improved support for all the rt devices (rt2400, rt2500, rt61, rt73).
