Had a similar problem with my Asus EEE PC 1000H which uses Ralink rt2860 
Chipset. Ubuntu 10.04 loaded two drivers:
rt2800pci
rt2860sta
Result was connectivity problem with many routers. It seems to be a common 
problem, by blacklisting the rt 2800 driver I could fix it.

Since installing Natty (fresh installation, not update), only the rt
2800pci driver is loaded, only when my netbook was in a good mood I
could connect to Wifi (and it was not too often in that mood...). Simply
blacklisting one driver and loading the other one does not work any
longer. By using this tutorial:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476007 I managed to install a
fresh driver from Ralink. Time consuming and tricky for unexperienced
users.

Would be nice if these things would work out of the box!
