You have gotten farther than me with that module.  I have never gotten it 
to connect to anything.  (It configures, but does nothing when I try and 
connect.)

Since I have a working Athros card (using madwifi drivers), it is not very 
urgent to me.  Other people may argue that though.  (I have gotten the 
chipset to work with the ndiswrapper code at one point, but it no longer 
works for me either.)
