There seems to be some confusion over the chipset in use on this card.

On a parallel thread, you linked a reference where other posters are
claiming a ralink card.

You specifically claim broadcom. The kernel has loaded the atheros module
(above) for it. The manufacturer may be using various chipsets for the
card for different hardware "revisions."
I have a Surecom card that was described on numerous websites as being a
Ralink RTA 2500 based card. The manufacturer insists that *that* specific
revision uses a Texas chip. The supplied Windows driver says "Realtek
8185" in the .inf file, and the .sys file is named "rtl8185".
<tongueincheek>
If the manufacturers have no idea what they are supplying, how is anyone
else supposed to?
