That worked quite well at first; however later on it turned out to be completely unusable.

This works quite fine although only linuxant can make use of the 54Mbit/s mode. However this does not work:
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -D ndiswrapper -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ^CCTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received
kwifimanager does also show an almost unreachable access point while linuxant showed 100% connection quality at the same distance.
iwconfig wlan0 essid tc # does also have no effect (iwconfig eth2 essid tc worked with linuxant) iwconfig wlan0 ap 01:80:c2:00:00:03 # no effect either (worked via wpa_suppl under linuxant) iwconfig wlan0 # looks the following after both iwconfigs wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Tx-Power:0 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
