Did you try "wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable"? This got a DWL-122 that was otherwise causing trouble for me working. I'm pasting the notes i was making before I discovered this solution for comparison below.

Then it works, but if I take it down and try to bring it up again without touching the card the error reappears. iwconfig always returns "no wireless extensions". -- [gutsy] Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset based wireless doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
