Interesting!

This concerned me:

    What this firmware does not support:

	* does not implement RTS/CTS handshake procedure, must be disabled

====>	* does not work with hardware cryptography acceleration, use
	  without encryption!
	* does not work with dot11 QoS, must be disabled on module load
