I think there is more to this than just the WiFi card itself, possibly.
I put the card in another PC (Socket 939 AMD with nForce 4 SLI chipset) and with Kubuntu 9.04 it worked perfectly.
Strangely enough, I still got the "Unknown hardware address type 801" error but the card DOES WORK.
Perhaps the motherboard itself has something to do with it? or a conflict between the WiFi NIC and something on the original PC? (which was a Socket 370 Pentium 3 with Intel chipset of some kind
