I made a patch for this driver the other day to get it to compile on the 2.6.24 kernel. It worked fine with WEP through nm-applet initially, for about 24 hours, but suddenly it wouldn't associate to the AP no matter what I did. But I got it working with iwconfig and it's been perfect ever since (about 3 days now) with heavy load. I'm not much of an expert with drivers and kernel stuff, but the changes were quite simple. Surely somebody experienced could do the necessary to fix this properly in Hardy before release - it's such a shame that this driver was bugged for WEP with Gutsy, and now not even present in Hardy. You can get my patched sources from http://www.willdaniels.co.uk/index.php/blog/tech- stuff if it will help, and there is a brief explanation of the changes, but it's the first time I ever messed with this kind of stuff (or even made a patch file) so it might not be quite right.
