I definitely don't find that encouraging, I have absolutely no interest in
compiling my own drivers!
However a quick google on Ubuntu and rt2500 provides a help.ubuntu.com
page which claims the following "Since Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) the
rt2500 driver is installed out of the box"

The same page suggests the rt2500 supports WPA or WEP.

So its probably worth 12 quid to get one and try it...
