Which type of encryption (if any) do you use?

This is bad, but it seems to be a common problem when upgrading from
etch. You need to add
, ATTRS{type}=="1"
to these lines. Alternatively, rename it the file and reboot, then udev
will regenerate it (but your wireless card will probably named wlan0).

That's probably because the rt2500 driver was loaded from initramfs.
You need to update that as well with update-initramfs(8). This is also
necessary if you change the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules,
since udev files are also copied to the initramfs.

Does the card even show up then? You have to fix the udev rules first,
I think.
