The rt61pci.ko module is located along with other ndiswrapper wireless
modules in the package linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic. So in
order to install it, you would do "sudo aptitude install
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic" Apparently, that package was
skipped over during your installation, hence that's why the rt* modules
weren't on your system after the installation finished. I was just
pointing out that you can install those drivers manually from the
linux-ubuntu-module package located on the  cdimage if they don't get
installed during the initial installation.

Anyway, glad to see you finally got it going.
