Fortunately, I have already installed debian testing on my laptop, so
there was no problem checking it out.
Somehow, I still can't connect to a WPA-encrypted WLAN. The
installation script (of the kernel?) told me there could be a problem
with missing firmware but after reboot with 2.6.32 the card was able to
scan for APs. Also, dmesg didn't print out any suspicious messages so I
assume a firmware is loaded.
dmesg:

ifconfig lists the device correctly as eth2 (although I wish, it was
marked as a wlan* device). lspci strangely doesn't list it - although my
other WLAN-card is?!? Maybe it isn't because it's an old
16bit-PCMCIA-card?
O.k. that's all about my card. Ask me if you want to know more about
it...
The kernel doesn't work too good on my Thinkpad A20p. It seems to
crash randomly after a few minutes. This is my third attempt to write
an email to you, but this time with a self-compiled 2.6.33-kernel. I
guess I got to check out the new 2.6.34-kernel from the debian
experimental repository, too!
Greetings!
