Every time I log in, network-manager tears down my already-existing
network connection and tries to associate with my AP itself. But it will
never succeed as the driver I am using is rt2500 which does not support
the API that n-m tries to use.

Relevant lines from /etc/network/interfaces:

auto wlan0=basil
iface basil inet dhcp
wireless-essid basil
wireless-key '0123456789'

thanks

I see two different bugs here.  First, the rt2500 driver should support
the standard wireless API; I've assigned a clone of this bug to the
kernel, to look into that.  Second, as you pointed out network-manager's
integration with ifupdown should have caused it to respect your
configuration in /etc/network/interfaces; I've left the original bug you
filed assigned to network-manager for that issue.

Hope that helps,
