[Netgear MA101][Mandrake 9.1] trouble configuring device with iwconfig

hi,

trying to install my netgear MA 101 (usb Wifi adapter)
on my mandrake 9.1 i had some trouble with
atmelwlandriver-3.2.4.4. i then tried your driver
(at76c503a)
the point is i managed to install the driver (at least
i think i did it well)
iwconfig and ifconfig recognize the device.
modules are loaded but i cant get the access point
with iwconfig i always get 00:00:00:00:00:00

my adapter workss fine on windows so i m sure about
channel and ssid but i cant figure out how to get it
configure ion linux.

idea : i m using usb-ohci driver ; cant managed to
change to uhci to test with it.

Can someone help ?

regards,

Sebastien LAUNAY
