I've got one of these too, so if for some reason things fail it's a lot
easier for me to diagnose and fix :)  Great to hear it works.

You might check 'dmesg' output for more info from the driver, but this
seems like a kernel/driver problem.  Best to follow up on this at
linux-wireless vger mailing list or with your distro.  There's not
really a b/g switch that drivers expose since this should always "just
work".
