Hello Jeorg, I just noticed the problem recently. For some reason I was getting an unexpected opmode whenever I started up my computer and went directly into Linux (27, I believe it was). I played around a bit and noticed that I had to boot into Windows before the device was usable in Linux. Curious, no? Don't know what the cause is, but I suspect that the driver's compiled-in firmware is not usable with my device. Again, my device is a Linksys WUSB11 v 2.8. I believe it uses the AT76C505 chipset together with the RFMD 2958. It's not really a big deal for me, but if you would like to find a real solution to the problem, I will be more than happy to help. I have a great deal of C experience so if you want me to try to debug it or alter any code, I can certainly do that.
