Can't really comment as yet Ray - I only installed it a couple of days ago 
(although I had run the test versions).
Initial issues were  - 
poor refresh rate setting and after installing the nvidia driver, it lashed up 
the screen settings in xorg. Not world shattering issues, but annoying.
On the wireless front, I did try running the cd as a live disc on my laptop 
(which runs 6.06) -  no joy with the wpa-psk :(  Perhaps if it was installed 
it would work - it was possible to set wpa up, but no connection as yet here.

Someone here on the lug is one of the devs for the ralink driver - Robin 
perhaps? They would be the best person to answer on the ralink question. 
I suspect the two drivers will differ - I know the rt2400 and rt2500 ones 
differ.
