Others have reported problems with the rt2800usb. Updating to the latest compat 
wireless drivers seems to fix it.

Does wash list your AP?

I apologize i'm quite the novice. I've been trying to figure out how to use 
wash with little luck.

You should just need to specify your monitor mode interface:

# wash -i mon0

This is due to the distance and signal power.

To have success on the Association, and to stop that Waiting for Beacon 
message. Its simple:

You can only use reaver with AP/Routers that you are really close.

To me its only working when i have -50 or higher (-40) of signal. 
Im using BackTrack the lower the better/powerfull

So get close to the AP.
