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 The following forum thread could be relevent: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263668&highlight=ralink I can reboot to provide more information if anything else would be useful. -- Failure to obtain IP with DHCP on Averatec laptop with rt2500 https://launchpad.net/bugs/60461 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
