I've now tested 2.6.30 kernel, and here are the results:
1. The POWER LED on the card is now active!
2. Bug #3 is solved!

However, I seem to have overlooked one more bug (yes, this bug is actually FOUR in one!):
4. The connection is unstable not only due to monitoring interval (bug #3; the now fixed bug outputted this into dmesg: "No ProbeResp from current AP"), but it's also unstable because of something else that output this into dmesg: "no probe response from AP - disassociating" and "direct probe to AP timed out".
Solution, which also fixes bug #3 for older kernels and even to some degree bug #2: get and install compat-wireless from this page:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/

So, as you can see, this looks like the ultimate solution that fixes almost all the bugs mentioned here. The only bug left now is #1, and is fedora-specific.
