Could you try restarting networking ('sudo /etc/init.d/networking
restart') and see if there is a line that says something like "[
5169.784764] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): ra0: link is not ready" in the output
of dmesg?

I was using the backports driver for a little over a week, and an update
ended up breaking it for me after I rebooted.  Removing it and going
back to the stock driver (the one that probably locks up your PC) will
give the same message, but after a while it eventually will associate
and give me an IP address.  Prior to the update that broke the backports
driver the stock one didn't have any problems other than instability.

Currently I'm using drivers from the compat-wireless "package" from
linuxwireless.org.  Thus far the one I've compiled & installed
(5/5/2008) has been working fine.

Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
Wireless driver: rt61pci
