I have the same problem using Ubuntu 8.10 beta 1, with a Ralink PCI card and a RT73USB driver.

The connection breaks after some times of internet uses. It depends of the quantity of data you exchange : if you do a ftp with a 1.3 Mo/s rate it will break sooner.

I'm a using a 2.6.27-4-generic kernel.

I have tried with other linux distributions, and I had the same problem.

With a Mandriva I have dumped those lines in messages log :

*Sep 20 20:10:04 localhost kernel: phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error -
Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 2.
Sep 20 20:10:04 localhost kernel: Please file bug report to
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com.*

It seems to be a regression in the kernel :
