Today I did some more detailed testing an I have to clarify what works
and what not.

The device does not work with DMA (currently), PIO mode is required.
With PIO mode:
"iwlist wlan0 scan" works and networks are reported.
Signal strength in the report does not work.
It is always:
 Quality=70/70  Signal level=0 dBm


Associate with with AP seems to work but no data transfer

Managed mode can be set and the AP is visible.
Connecting to it is not possible and the device stops working with:
