You can find a updated-as-of-last-month mac80211 pci driver at 
http://airgo.wdwconsulting.net/acx-mac80211-20070510.patch.bz2
it may or may not work, it compiles, it responds with aps to iwlist sc. 
Enabling ACX_MAC80211_USB will cause the build to fail. I'll be happy to 
take patches and bug reports.

thanks,
