Networking in Linux is a bitch.  I struggled for quite a while trying
to get a
theoretically-supported-but-I-could-never-figure-out-the-proper-incantation
networking card working with UAWifi.  Eventually, I was able to get
the card working but the connection would be dropped periodically (I
don't remember all of the details; they're probably in the TFUG
archives somewhere.)  Anyway, I ended up buying an ipw2200 off the web
for approx $30.  Generally, I work until I get things figured out but
in this case, I bit the bullet.  And I've never had any regrets.  The
new card was cheap and it "just worked."  Just an option you might
want to consider.
