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
