Upgrade to Unstable: Problems with USB Wifi Adapter

[Ben Hill <ben@serosoft.com>]

I've just upgraded to sid, but my D-Link DWL-122 USB wifi adapter has
stopped working as it was under sarge.

When I plug the device in, /var/log/messages shows it's loading the
prism2_usb module. I still have alias wlan0 prism2_usb in my modules,
but it's no longer associating with the network automatically. 

If I try ifup wlan0, I get:

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

Any pointers?
