After getting the modules loaded, try:
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=yourssid authtype=opensystem
Then ifup wlan0 should work. I had the exact same problen with an
usb wireless nic, where the hotplug stuff wasn't doing the right thing.
I still can't fingure out where to change the scripts, but I can get
the thing to work. :)
