I'm about to start pulling my hair over this damn wireless issue. I had it all working this morning, but without any sort of encryption on my wireless router. Then I turn WPA (PSK) back on, and now no amount of configuration can even make scanning work :-(
# lspci |grep Ra

Then some configuration (based on iwpriv_usage.txt from rt2500-source):
# iwconfig wlan0 mode managed

# iwpriv wlan0 set WirelessMode=0
# iwpriv wlan0 set CountryRegion=2

Any pointers? Really, I'm ready to try just about anything now!
