Okay, I spake to soon. The rt61 drivers work only for a bit then they
stop responding. Sometimes I have an IP address, sometimes not. Either
way only rebooting fixed it.

I managed to find the Windows XP 64 bit drivers out there and used them with 
ndiswrapper
I used this HOWTO:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=564419

And then I had to put this in my /etc/network/interfaces:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
  wireless-essid myhiddenessid
  wireless-mode Managed
  pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B 
-f/var/log/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.log
  post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

Without the "Managed", it defaults to Auto and will fail to associate
with my AP.

I found the extractable drivers at driverguide. The filename was:
C54Ri_C54RC_DRV_WHQL_V3.01.00.exe

Even though an EXE it unzips fine. I used the rt61.inf in the WINX64
directory.

So far it is working, hopefully this one stays up.

Hopefully the  rt2x00 + rt61pci can be fixed and start working again.
Really a shame that it was working great in Intrepid but it is now not
working.
