Have you tried a WLE900 VX NIC?  Those have worked well for me.

Probably this is not a firmware issue, but if you have nothing else
to try, you can try my version of the 10.1.x firmware:

and possibly my hacked 3.14.14 kernel, which may spew out some additional
debug info if you have something like OTP issues.

git clone git://dmz2.candelatech.com/linux-3.14.dev.y

Thanks,
Ben
