Hi David,
please switch over to driver rt2800pci. To do so blacklist the rt2860sta module 
of the rt2860 driver:

Check whether the file you are going to create does not exist already:
less /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2860sta.conf

No such file? Good, proceed to:
echo 'blacklist rt2860sta' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2860sta.conf

Two more things still to do because some bugfixes for the new rt2800pci
driver are not yet included in the standard natty updates:

Install the most up to date version of firmware for the rt2800pci driver from:
http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp762987/linux-firmware_1.52~lp762987v201106061858_all.deb
(As long as the task of updating the linux-firmware in natty to this new 
firmware is not "fix released" (see bug 762987).)

Activate natty-proposed to get kernel 2.6.38-9.43 or newer. (As long as
such a new kernel is still not in normal natty-updates.)

Let me know whether or not everything works now.

** Summary changed:

- Can't connect to WLAN with eeePC 901
+ Can't connect to WLAN with eeePC 901, rt2860sta getting in the way
