Hi Larry,

very good point. There is a German saying like:
"who is able to read, has clear advantages..."

The ifconfig output seems good (like other working wlan cards), and the 
interface is up. But iwlist wlan0 scan does not find any wlan-network. 
Very strange, because I made this test very close to the access-point 
(about 30 cm distance). With other wlan-cards I get signal levels of 
~80% of maximum. So maybe the receiving part is broken. I can not test 
the hardware with the windows-driver, because I don't have a 
windows-installation.
