Hi Fernando,
with this driver the first step is doing a "ifconfig ethX up" before
any wireless related configuration.
Example:
ifconfig ethX up
iwconfig ethX channel Y
iwconfig ethX essid any
And after this steps you have to be associated and you can set your
ip-related settings.
Did you do by this way?

Hi,
yes, I am aware of that proceeding.
I do everything smoothly.. sometimes I can get connected, most of the times I can't.
As Daniel pointed out in other reply, this must be a bug in the module.. at least, that's the problem with the driver that is shipped with kernel 2.6.17. Since I use kernel 2.6.16, I had to install the driver independently, thus I'm using the latest masked version of ieee80211softmac. Version 0
.1-r20060329 to be correct.
Besides going back to ndiswrapper, what other choices do I have here?
Thanks,
Fernando
