  This bug is still present in 10.04 Lucid Lynx. In comment #161 I've
  described a workaround that should be effective, at least in Lucid.

  Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-8-generic

  I'm using hardy alpha 4 (on Linux nand-laptop 2.6.24-5-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 24 19:45:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ) and I was testing a PCMCIA rt2500 card :
   03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI [1814:0201] (rev 01)
  with WEP encryption, near the AP :
  wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"DartyBox_005c"
            Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: 00:09:5B:EB:32:20
            Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=27 dBm
            Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B
            Link Quality=43/100  Signal level=-54 dBm
            Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
            Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

  The connection is working, but slowly (40 kb/s). It's due to the bit
  rate being set to 1Mb/s. If I manually set the rate to 54Mb/s, then I
  got the 900 kb/s I expect from my AP.

  I have also tested with one other RT based I have, a RT73 one, and the
  bit rate goes automatically to 54Mb/s...
