Hmm, something funky is going on with my hotplug scripts - if I rerun
ifup eth1 after inserting the card it associates just fine. Sorry for
the false alarm, the drivers seems to be working fine.

Still not sure why old driver does not need second "ifup"...

old drivers? which one? the svn? 2.6.18?

Since, the card doesn't associate with WPA protected wlans automaticlly,
but what about WEP or unprotected wlans? 

It would be nice if someone can capture the MLME frames and look
if the card does the right thing.
