Yeap both of the are enabled. And cat /proc/net/wireless returns

Regarding to the mail from Alexandros Vavoussis, I've done everything
exactly you said.

Unfortunately Max did send me his patch for this firmware issue but it came
corrupted and I'm waiting for him to resend it...

I can't seem to figure out what is going on...

Shouldn't by setting #define VERBOSE 0xFF get all the information from the
module cause I'm not getting anything back...
