Comment 27 for bug 35474

I can confirm that the rt61pci module is borked in edgy.

As above, two interfaces are created(wlan0 and wmaster0), the purpose of the latter is unclear.

'iwlist wlan0 scan' will find APs, but will not accept a WEP key (by 'iwconfig wlan0 enc XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' - iwconfig reports WEP: None)

I have heard reports that compiling source modules from scratch (ie rt61.ko as opposed to rt61pci.ko) is a solution. However, The box with the RT61 has no net connection so I am having difficulty testing it ;).
