That's *exactly* what I am doing at this moment. Here are my findings so far:
WL-138G V2 comes with BoardFlags=0x0049. That would mean, no Afterburner (among other things), even though Asus specifically advertises this card as supporting Afterburner. When I set it to0x6A49, the card suddenly comes to life to some extent, as I can associate/DHCP and Radiotap injection works, but loading webpages is eXXXXtremely slow, and pinging my AP results in an anomalous output, where the return time of the pings cycles between 3ms, 350ms and 600ms, with some packets dropped, and others received twice (duplicates). When I flash the entire SPROM that I sent to Larry and Kala Mazoo minus the MAC address and the subsystem IDs, the card works much better, web pages download fast, ping times don't cycle, but pinging my AP still shows a lot of duplicates (although no packets get lost). This suggests that the weird "ping cycling" bug and the extremely low throughput is due to a mismatch between BoardFlags and the paXbY values, and not a driver bug. I will do some more bisecting on the individual BoardFlags values to see which one triggers the bug.
