Yes, we have had this topic here a few times already.  But noone here
has enough techical knowledge to fix the driver.  So the driver is
obviously unmaintained.

If you'd look closer, you'd probably see that arp requests get through
but that they are not answered.

I have switched from the atmelwlandriver to at76c503c after I had
massive problems with the first one (still on 2.4), complete system
stalls, spontaneous reboots and often a completley unresponsive usb
system, which is quite bad with a usb keyboard.

But maybe it is time to try the atmelwlandriver again.  Is it working
stable on 2.6.12 for you?
