I think I had the same issue, rt61pci dropping connection and not reconnecting with the AP without any notice and tried several solutions without much luck, until, in an (unsuccessful due to API changes) attempt to compile the official Ralink drivers from their site (http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2), I copied the _firmware_ from their driver to /lib/firmware, thereby overriding Ubuntu's provided firmwares. These files are named rt2561.bin, rt2561s.bin and rt2661.bin and are in the Module directory of the Ralink drivers.
My connection used to drop once per hour at least, but now running for 4+ hours without drops. Will post another message if it's still working after 48+ hours. Hope this works for you as well..
