I have it working under 12.10 (using the fixes described in #8). When I run
iwconfig, I get the following output:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"ElephantAtCairo"
          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point:
A0:21:B7:DF:0E:29
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=63/70 Signal level=-47 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:27 Invalid misc:535 Missed beacon:0

The main difference (apart from bit rate and quality) is that for me, power
management is off.
