The driver is probably busted. Can you send the output of "lshal" (scrub it for MAC addresses if you like), "ls -al /proc/net/wireless", and "tree /sys/class/net" ? Basically, if HAL doesn't detect the card as a wireless card, NetworkManager won't see it as a wireless card. To do this, I believe that HAL has previously used /proc/net/wireless. If the driver doesn't implement the get_wireless_stats() handler, it won't show up in /proc/net/wireless, and therefore it won't be seen by HAL.
