Looks good so far, the driver loads and a network interface is created.
The only small problem is that your net.agent doesn't know how to bring
the interface up.

Try the following:

iwconfig
  The interface should be shown as "NOT READY!".

ifconfig <ethX> up
  This brings up the interface and uploads the firmware.

iwconfig
  now the "NOT READY!" should disappear and you should be able to
  configure you card.

If you get errors when running "ifconfig <ethX> up" or something doesn't
work as expected, have a look at you kernel logs.
You can try to solve your problems with this site:

If you don't have any luck feel free to write to the list again.
