Boy do I feel silly.

So I remembered ... that I have the arch default firewall which doesn't allow access to anything but eth0.

And indeed:
/etc/rc.d/iptables stop
followed by

[EMAIL PROTECTED] perun]# iwlist ra0 scan
ra0       Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:16:B6:02:EF:73
                    Mode:Managed
                    ESSID:"linksys"
                    Encryption key:off
                    Channel:6
                    Quality:90/100  Signal level:-102 dBm  Noise level:-193 dBm

[EMAIL PROTECTED] perun]# iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] perun]# iwconfig ra0 essid linksys
[EMAIL PROTECTED] perun]# dhcpcd ra0


BANG internet access... sigh

What if you roam and don't know the access point address?

You could try using ndiswrapper like I do. I know there are native
drivers for linux, but they freeze my system or just don't compile
(the rt73 driver for me, also from ralink).
After installing drivers with   # ndiswrapper -i drivers_for_windows.inf
check if everthing is ok        # ndiswrapper -l
then you have to load the ndiwrapper module (modprobe ndiswrapper).
a wlan0 interface should be created, you can manage it with iwconfig,
this is what i do:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid "my_essid" ap "00:10:6A:63:94:12"
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.5
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

or just run dhcpcd.
Note that it works only if I set the access point address.
I hope this helps.
