ls -l /usr/src/linux
uname -r

(I think it's likely you never fixed up your /usr/src/linux symlink and 
ralink-rt61 is being compiled against the wrong kernel.)

You might consider butting something like:
ln -snf linux-"$(uname -r)" /usr/src/linux
in local.start to fix up your kernel symlink on each boot.  (Though, I hate 
to 
think what that would do if /usr/src/linux was a directory rather than a 
symlink.)

Probably not, but if you are actually running 2.6.17-gentoo-r8, then I'll 
need 
to see the output of dmesg around the time you modprobed rt61.
