I've been struggling with this issue and patiently waiting for a resolution since I first purchased my Asus Eee PC 1000 several months ago.

I converted to Eeebuntu NBR 2.0 and WICD and have never had a problem using WPA2-PSK on my home net. However I've never been able to get a 802.11n connection either. I really felt, based on everything I'd read, that the issue was driver related and that I just needed to wait for a good solution to surface. It did.

After backup everything up I followed the instructions on this link...
http://www.ayetea.com/updating-the-rt8260-80211n-wireless-network-driver-from-source.html
and this morning I had a fast and rock solid 802.11n connection with WPA2-PSK.

It looks as though Ralink has, with v2.1.2.0, corrected the 802.11n issue and if the proper WPA_SUPPLICANT mods are made to the config.mk file then both the issues are resolved.

Cheers!
