Hmpf, ok.

First possibility: the probe requests are not sent out at all
Second possibility: the probe requests are sent out but not received by the AP

One way to find that out would be to sniff the wireless traffic with a second
wireless card and check if the rt2800 card sends out probe requests and if
the AP answers them. Do you think you can do that?
