With 2.4.18 or 2.4.18-bf24 there is no problem with this card.
I usually start the card via /etc/network/interfaces like this:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wireless_essid myessid
wireless_key abcdef0123
where the key is the straight (40 bit) hex key.
I remember trying the 's:password' option on iwconfig but gave up on
it for some reason. It has been a while and I can't recall what
trouble I had, but I dimly recall having some.

Works fine. Every day ;-)
