Did you remove the ubuntu-supplied driver from Jaunty?
What you described is what happens when an unpatched driver tries to
connect to a WPA(2) AP with mixed TKIP / AES encryption. Also note that
DKMS might be interfering with your module, so remove the rt2860-dkms
package and the kernel module, and then try compiling and installing the patched 2.1.1.0 module. Also reboot after compiling the module, just to make sure.
Hope that helps,
Dries
