Public bug reported:

I'm on a fresh install of Karmic x64 with latest updates as of 02.08.09
using a Belkin N Wireless F56D8053 on rt2800usb drivers found here:
http://forums.remote-exploit.org/bt4...-wireless.html (current ralink
drivers don't compile on this kernel, and other "modded" versions don't
work)

The drivers seem to have installed correctly, I can put the card into
monitor mode without issue and can even inject packets. I can't however
connect to my AP which is open system, no encryption, nor any other AP.
I can see available wireless networks on both knetworkmanager and wicd.
I am currently using wicd and when I try to connect I get "Obtaining IP
Address" and then a short while later, "Unable to obtain IP address".

Unconfirmed: "the old fashioned way still works, though, once you stop 
wicd/networkmanager and the wpa_supplicant daemon from running. i'm currently 
doing it by manually running wpa_supplicant to associate then dhclient to get 
an IP address. /etc/network/interfaces could be set up to do the same thing."

If I plug an ethernet cable in, eth0 works fine, but not with wireless.
