Trouble implementing PRISM2 WiFi Card

[2cson@gmx.de]

I have been trying to use my new Wifi card for my laptop with limited
success.  I have a Siemens(PRISM2 chipset) card that I cant seem to get running. 
The card is recognised by the hardware and the last time I recompiled the
kernel I included the right device driver.  I also installed the appropiate wlan
software.  When I run iwconfig with iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-hoc I get the same
error message "device not found."  I have tried other devices with likewise
no success(including different eth, tty, ttyS).  When I attempt to MAKEDEV I
get the reply "MAKEDEV does not know how to make the following device."  So
this leaves me with the question of- what the hell?  I reinstalled the wlan
software(twice) and still get the same results.  If anyone else has any ideas
about this your reply would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks in advance,
Andy
