W200 can not see ESSIDs

Hello,

I am running a W200 under a 2.6.3 kernel with the CVS driver code module 
installed, and I am encountering a strange bug. The drivers compiled fine, 
and the module is loading properly, but the card never seems to see any 
networks. 

The essid is alrealy set to use "ANY" via wireless tools, and even if I set 
the essid to a known value of a network that is present, the card reports no 
link.

Anyone got any ideas here?

System configurations follow:
