iwconfig (in fact all wext tools in general) are obsolete.
Use "iw" instead.

try compat-wireless stack+drivers:

Also, the first gen p54usb devices [yours is one] share the same firmware
identifier with the miniPCI firmwares. [Obviously, USB devices don't work
with pci firmwares and vice versa.]

Also, you have to install crda. It's even highlighted in the bugreport as a
crucial missing component. "CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory".
