Success! Okay, with the manufacturers driver.

For those with a similar problem, please follow these steps:

Download the latest driver from 
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html
For the rt61, the correct file was 
http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2009_0123_RT61_Linux_STA_v1.1.2.3.tar.bz2
Extract the file
Follow their instructions, **BUT** after you copy Makefile.6 to Makefile, you 
need to change this line:
CFLAGS+= $(WFLAGS)                                                              
                                                                 

To this:
EXTRA_CFLAGS+= $(WFLAGS)  

then follow their instructions.

In the rt61sta.dat file, I had to change from 1 to 0:
NativeWpa=0

I also put my SSID, Channel, AuthMode, EncrypType and WPAPSK in that
file, but I don't know if it was needed as it should be picked up from
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Remember to remove and blacklist the broken rt61pci module!
sudo modprobe -r rt61pci

(Optional) Add this to your /etc/network/interfaces:
iface ra0 inet dhcp
  wireless-essid YOURSSID
  pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B 
-f/var/log/wpa_supplicant.ra0.log
  post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

Now execute:
sudo ifup ra0

If you are as fortunate is I it works!

PS - I am on amd64 and this works just fine.

I would like to get wlan0 with rt61pci working as I'd rather not have to
maintain a source package, but hey, I'll take what I can get.
