Heureka -- seems like I'm the first linux user on the planet with a
WLAN connection on that device. The MAC address is random which
of course is a pain for DHCP but it seems to work. Appears a little
bit slow though.

Thanks a 10^6. At least now I can hang out in bars while surfing the
net.
Sorry it took so long.
I'll be happy if I can supply you with any information or patch more
code into my kernel whenever I find the time.
Cheers
Sebastian
