Have you manually configured the card using the Ubuntu network config tools? Ubuntu has a distro-specific patch that makes NM ignore any card you've manually configured. Furthermore, what version of the rt61 driver, and is that a mac80211-based driver? It may be that the rt61 driver isn't quite ready for prime-time, as the mac80211 stack (if that's what rt61 is based off of) isn't quite ready for prime-time yet, though it's getting there. Can you plug the rt61 card in and then run 'lsmod' ?
