Regarding to the news(http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Kernel-Log-New-stable-kernels-2-6-33-with-DRBD-and-RT2800PCI-883212.html), kernel 2.6.33 will be shipped with new driver for rt2860. So I suggest ubuntu kernel team will backport the one to 2.6.31 or 2.6.32(in lucid). But it'll be not soon, because the driver is not ready.
