So, Lennert if you want more testing - What? How? etc.
For one, the output of 'iw phy', please.

Also, does monitor mode work?  Do you get plausible channel/rxpower
values in tcpdump in monitor mode?

Are there any messages in the syslog about failing commands?
On 1st sight, logs look fine:

[21:52:52] <lautriv> [    6.050967] ieee80211 phy0: 88w8361p v4,
00173f3bdde3, STA firmware 2.1.4.25

But WLAN connection is not that fast and stable as lautriv reports
(several abnormalities were observed).
iwconfig saying "Bit Rate=1 Mb/s" can be safely ignored.  If there is
a bitrate indication on transmitted packets in tcpdump, then that's
bogus too, as rate control is done in hardware.  (I.e. if you want to
verify the rate at which a packet is transmitted, you'll have to sniff
from another machine.)
