Well, I got this working a while back on all of my various rt2860 cards with WPA(2) using Adam's DKMS dirver. Nothing else I tried ever worked across all of my machines. Unfortunately, it seems it wasn't Adam's stuff that made it into the kernel/Jaunty beta release since I'm back to WPA(2) being completely borked. For once it'd be nice if egos and politics could be put aside by whomever and the WORKING driver be included. If Intel (and I'm not a big fan of theirs for various reasons) would make a mini-PCI (not e) "N" card, I'd be on it in a second. They seem to be the only wireless manufacturer out there that can release a driver that does, or can be gotten working within a reasonable ammount of time. Broadcom is a PITA and so proprietary it hurts. RALink and Atheros can't seem to get a stable driver that works with all of the protocols across all of their chipsets (before I've sold the old hardware anyway) to save their lives. Sorry for the rant, but look at the age of this thread. And here we go again. If I ever install anything where RA* stuff works out of the box I think I'll have a heart attack.
