                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ wrong

I am using the berlios-drivers-0.10. Sorry for the mistake.

Meanwhile I have spend a few hours on solving the problem.
I have found
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/at76c503a-user/2003-September/000578.html
and the following answer of Joerg stating that the cvs-snapshot has built 
in the support for the FL-WL240U but the one I have got today hasn't,
because the new compiled modules still don't recognize the device - I
couldnt even found a Produkt_ID for 0x14 (remember? 0x1731,0x14) at the
sources...

Being no c-programmer, I tried to add support to the c files by manually
editing:
	/at76c503a/at76c503-rfmd.c

to have 
...
#define VENDOR_ID_DICK_SMITH_ELECTR   0x1371 /* Dick Smith Electronics */
#define PRODUCT_ID_FL_WL240U          0x14   /* Fiberline FL WL-240U by swu */
...
{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_ID_DICK_SMITH_ELECTR, PRODUCT_ID_FL_WL240U) },


After compiling and installing this, the device is recognized fine:

I could even ifconfig wlan0 to a correct IP-Addresss etc. and (wow!)
iwconfig was able to set it's SSID and each setting fine, without any
errors.

But (argh!) the device is not pinging.

I have tested the device running pretty fine at windows98se and I have
running a WU221-P USB-device at linux, so you can trust me, that I have
tried everything...

Can you please help me?

cheers,
Sascha
