Can I just confirm that you are running Hardy and throughput is what it should be and stability is good. That card has the RT2561 (RT61) chipset and I Hardy has major issues with the 2500 which have existed for 8 months and have not been addressed. (of course it was working fine before then. I want to be sure the same issues do not extend to the RT61 chips as they use the same driver. I'm not sure who dropped the ball, but I'd be happy to do something towards getting the issue resolved. After reading the full list of comments posted to trac I can only wonder what's going on. This chipset has been recommend by the FSF and the company has received awards for their dedication to Linux, so something weird must be going on for it to be broken in an LTS release.
