Buffalo usb WLI-U2-KG54 rt2500, can see AP but dhcpcd wlan0 times out

Having trouble getting a buffalo airstation g54  (USB) working.

The computer I'm using has usb 1.1 (not sure if that would stop it from working)

lsusb yields:
04111:0066 Melco Inc.  I put  04111:0066 into google and it gave me this:
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/RT2X00.html which seemed to indicate that the chipset of the device is RT2500

next step:
modprobe rt2500

ifconfig wlan0 up

iwlist wlan0 scan yields:

ESSID:"gaz"
...
Quality 47/100 Signal Level=-76dBm
Encryption key:off
...

and then

iwconfig wlan0 essid gaz
dhcpcd wlan0

yields:
err, wlan0:timed out
warn, wlan0: using IPV4ALL address 169.254.5.128

Currently I have another box running linux mint and an rt61 based pci wireless card, which can connect to the router, so I know things are ok at the router end.

Any ideas anyone?

many thanks in advance,
gazza

found out using puppy linux that my usb dongle has the rt2570 chip, so I will have a go at at building the module for that
