Hello!

Using that kernel I see the following features / bugs:

   - loading the firmware "freezes" the system for a few seconds
   - setting the link up of wlan0 "freezes" the system for a few seconds
   - connecting to 802.11b/g works (802.11a is untested)
   - roaming does *NOT* work -> just looses the AP, does not connect
     to other AP with same essid
   - connecting to a ap sometimes does not work, though essid is set
      -> sometimes it helps to specify "ap <addr>"
      -> sometimes setting down and up the link helps
      -> with earlier kernels one sometimes needed to rmmod and insmod
         the module again, so there is some progress :-)

So far it is somehow usable, though the connection problems and missing
roaming is a bit painful.

Sincerly,

Nico
