Everybody out there: Please test :-)
For the records, I'm using an USB adapter:
| ID 069a:0321 Askey Computer Corp. Dynalink WLL013 / Compex WLU11A 802.11b Adapter
which is labeled as "Siemens Gigaset USB Adapter 11".

No, as at76c503a was written before that stuff. I've just tested it to
be on the safe side: "generic 802.11 network stack" disabled and
re-built the kernel, works. However it seems to be a good idea to merge
the driver into that. How are the chances to get this driver into the
main stream kernel anyway?
And of course my patch is nothing but a quick hack, it should take care
of the kernel version to have no change when building against 2.6.13.x
and earlier.
