I was also using an Asus Eee PC 1001HA, and lucid beta 1's inbuilt staging driver module was failing. The logs showed an error due to a missing configuration file: /etc/Wireless/RT2860/RT2860.dat .
This file is available from the dkms package at https://launchpad.net /~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090 (which I've used in karmic), or from the vendor's original source at http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 . Creating the missing folders as root and placing the file there allowed the module to load and function. I found that replacing the configuration with an empty file also worked (in karmic at least).
