Hi Greg,

I got the same problems here, I finally succeded by deleting all the 
hotplug stuff (rm /etc/hotplug/wlan.agent) and starting the prism2_usb 
device using the following script script.

<<< wlan_start.sh >>> START
#!/bin/bash
#
# script for starting sitecom USB wlan device
# M. von Essen  Oct. 21, 2005
#
# Version 0.0.1  can be improved and extended
#
# be sure to delete /etc/hotplug/wlan*

set -x

/sbin/rmmod prism2_usb
/sbin/rmmod p80211
#/sbin/rmmod uhci_hcd
#/sbin/rmmod usbcore

#/sbin/modprobe usbcore
#/sbin/modprobe uhci_hcd
sleep 1
/sbin/modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1
sleep 1
/sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
sleep 1
/sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid='WLAN' authtype=opensystem
# 'ifconfig wlan0 <your IP address> up'
<<< wlan_start.sh >>> END

BTW: I ignored the message about the wrong interface number

Only my 0.02 EUROcent
