I have got the same problem on Fedora 8.
You can temporarily solve the problem if you manually type "iwconfig
wlan0 rate 54M" in the terminal. You will have to do it everytime you
start your computer, of course.

wlan0 will have to be substituted by whatever you connection is called.
54M is the max speed supported by my card, but again you can set that to
your card's max speed.

I opened a bug report for that and another problem (power led not
working) and Ralink's people informed me today that both problems should
be solved with the 2.1.5 release series.
