I'm using kubuntu 7.04, and rt2500 with the same WPA-PSK settings as
under dapper.

First, I had to test "feisty" with live CD before upgrading!

then, I had to remove knetworkmanager which was'nt able to manage WPA-
PSK!

I wrote a new /etc/network/interfaces (with few differences from
Dapper's one)

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto ra0
iface ra0 inet static
address 192.168.1.111
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.254
post-up iwconfig ra0 essid "nameofessid"
post-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed
post-up iwpriv ra0 set Channel=11
post-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
post-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP
post-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK=key64bithexa1234657987654321344654987654321321654


THEN:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

I could ping the gateway, but couldn't ping google....
Problem with DNS seems evident, so I had to rewrote /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 192.168.1.254
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 0.0.0.0


THEN:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
sudo ifdown ra0
sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
sudo ifup ra0

tadam!! everything was OK!

Knetworkmanager still can't handle WPA-PSK...other users with rt2500
chipset experiment the same problem on French forum.
