The at76c503a driver in familiar 0.8 works better for me then either
atmelwlandriver or the older berlios driver ever did in 0.7.2.

Well, the driver is the latest in berlios cvs, 0.12beta22.

There should be something here from the at76c503.c driver saying it
attached to your device and it should spit out the wlan region (which it
thinks is japan, but that is ok). And then the kernel should provide a
wlan0 device for one to iwconfig and ifconfig.

Strange your attempt doesn't do that. If you reboot, is there anything
in dmesg at boot time that reports what the at76c503 driver is up to. Is
it any different?
