Looks like a lot of things are working, maybe everything.  Nothing is 
really shouting that there is any driver issue (yet, anyway).

It is unassociated so nothing like getting an IP over DHCP or any kind 
of traffic will work until it is associated with your AP.  That probably 
explains the ADDRCONF problem.

What does

iwlist eth1 scan

say?  Then try things like

iwconfig eth1 mode managed
iwconfig eth1 channel 6  <-- or whatever
