Ok, after few days of playing with 0.1h I came to conclusion that on 1 of 5
rate I can _successfully_ connect to AP after loading module so there must
be something else involved too (that's why I asked for detailed instructions
because I thought _I_ was doing something wrong).

This is 650+ w/ thinkpad r40.

ps
	I had a one _very_ scary moment, one rmmod hanged hard, even reset button
did not help, I tried ejecting card and presto, linux was back alive _BUT_ 650+
was _dead_ that day ! Not even winxp wanted to work with it. Tried all sorts of
things, nothing. The next day card worked fine again.
**puzzled**
