For me it does not work either. I have added the1737:0079 id and it almost works. Scanning works perfectly but I cannot connect to any encrypted networks with network manager. I can connect to an open network, but the connection is very (and I mean *very*) slow, I suspect a very large amount of package dropping (which I suspect is also the reason why it doesn't connect with encrypted networks), though iwconfig shows 48Mb/s.

I've tested it with various configuration options to no avail.

Sean McNamara: I had the same problem with the unknown command errors. This apparently has something todo with DOT11_N or DOT11N_DRAFT because when I switch these off I don't get the errors anymore but there is also no change in behavior.

(Switching DOT11N off entails hacking the driver a bit, because it still tries to set bAdhocN to TRUE in sta/sta_cfg.c. In Set_AdhocN_Proc() I put "#ifdef DOT11_N_SUPPORT // function code #else return FALSE; #endif" around it and it compiled okay again)

I really hope that this driver will work soon for the 1737:0079 because my ndiswrapper setup seems to have gotten unstable with the latest karmic kernel.
