Driver doesn't support wireless extensions, so iwconfig doesn't work. Devices shows up as wlan0, so our network configuration tool doesn't see it. It is possible to get WEP working by editing a configuration file that is installed with the linux-wlan-ng driver (which includes the prism2_cs driver.) See Bugzilla entry for details.
