I'd guess this is your problem, and also why you're unlikely to get much
help.  You've got a binary blob coded for a different operating system
stuck in the middle of your system.  Have you tried the open-source WLAN
drivers?  I used to have a Netgear card which worked perfectly well with
those.

Cheers,
        Robin
