I have the same card (almost) and it work well

Device info:
/proc/drivers/aironet/eth1/Status:
Driver Version: airo.c 0.6 (Ben Reed & Javier Achirica)

Device: 350 Series
Manufacturer: Cisco Systems
Firmware Version: 4.25.10
Radio type: 2
Country: 0
Hardware Version: 22
Software Version: 425
Software Subversion: a
Boot block version: 150

Have you tried to set it up manually (by using directly iwconfig):
iwconfig eth1 essid your_essid key your_key

Also, are you able to see you AP with iwlist eth1 scanning ??
