After upgrading to kernel 2.6.24-18-generic I still wasn't able to make
a connection.
When I boot with kernel 2.6.24-16, then System->Hardwaredrivers shows the
following information:
No proprietary drivers are in use on this system
Underneath in the messagebox : Device driver Ralink RT2570 usb 802.11g
WLAN driver 1.0.0-CVS2008042800 is in use
With kernels -17 and -18 the messagebox is empty.
Hereby my search-results in /lib/modules

Anyway the interface is running, as I can see the blue led flashing on the
dongle if
Ubuntu is booting with the latest kernel

When I boot with kernel -16, then the WIFI-radar shows a device with mode
Managed
When I boot with kernel -17 or -18, then the WIFI-radar shows a device with
mode Master (and the signal-level
is shown).

It looks as kernel-16 is loading Device driver Ralink RT2570 usb 802.11g WLAN
driver 1.0.0-CVS2008042800
while kernels-17 and -18 are not exhibiting this behaviour. To my opinion I
believe there is something incompatible
between the network-manager and the drivers loaded by kernels -17 and -18
