The test deb works for for associating to my 3Com 11n AP (3CRWER300-73-ME), but fails to associate properly with my Linksys WRT54GL 11g AP.

The binary from svn.debian.org (which can also be found at http://people.debian.org/~benh/rtl-wlan/ ) works for me with both access points, so it appears that getting a redistributable license also for the proper SU firmware would be the superior solution.
