I missed it, it works now. Thanks Pavel and sorry for the noise. BTW,
stats are still bogus (link, signal, noise level == 0). But I don't think
it makes sense to debug this now, as you will probably have to deal with
mac80211 soon.

I had to make a little patch in order to build the driver on a kernel
version < 2.6.20. I don't think you want to merge this, as you are working
for inclusion into mainline, but in case, here it is:
