My network card worked fine on both 7.x-releases, but now in Hardy it
does not.

This is how I solved it (and shouldn't have had to... FAR too much hassle):
0) Install build essentials...
1) Download the rt2500 serialmonkey drivers, compile and install. (wget, make, 
sudo make install)
2) Blacklist the old drivers (add rt2500pci, rt2x00pci and rt2x00lib to 
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist or something)
3) Add 'alias ra0 rt2500' to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.
4) Add 'ifconfig ra0 up' to /etc/rc.local
5) Add 'auto wlan0' and 'iface ra0 inet dhcp' to /etc/networking/interfaces
Optional: 6) Remove knetworkmanager, it doesn't work anymore anyway...


I mean... really? This all 'just worked' in the previous versions, and now it 
was like one and a half day of IRC/web search for help fixing it!
All this on an LTS!?
