Altho, that _should not_ give you the headaches you're having, you might
want to rebuild the wireless-tools package with the same kernel-headers
used by your running kernel.

Even good things turn bad over time :(
What's the output from:
# iwconfig eth1
[*] I really think you should try a newer driver version:

Did you read the FAQ at the url above? But before you do that...

[***] You got relativelly old firmware on that card, so upgrading the
firmware may be something you should look into. I have:
"Looks like an Intersil firmware version 1.3.5"
on my D-Link DWL-650.
