I've got a Dynalink WLL013 which has an FCC ID of H8N-WLL013 which I've been 
attempting to get going on my Linux box (Debian unstable i386 with kernel 
2.4.21).

After reading back in the archives I discovered that my card appears to be 
Intersil based rather than RFM based. When plugging in the USB card, the USB 
product ID shows '320/69a' which would tend to confirm the experiences of 
others in the mailing list archive. 

In order for this hardware to show up correctly I added the line
{USB_DEVICE(0x069a,0x0320)} to the Intersil1 definition of 
includes/usb/config.h in the 2002-12-09 snapshot and compiled.  After loading 
the modules, the card was correctly loaded and grabbed eth1 as expected.

Time for iwconfig
iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig eth1 channel 6
iwconfig eth1 essid HOME
iwconfig eth1 mode managed

After doing this, the card is unable to locate the AP. I've a Windows machine 
with the same card contacting the AP correctly on channel 6 with an essid of 
HOME.
When compiling the driver in debug mode I get such a large amout of debug 
information it's very difficult to determine what the problem is.

I also tried the at76c503 driver package and added the card id to at76c503-
i3861. The debug information was a little mode helpful.

Si in this case it's finding the AP (00:90:96:48:5b:11) but iwconfig output 
still shows that it's still not found the AP.

I'm at my wits end. Can anyone offer any advice?

Cheers,
 Graeme
