I installed your driver from the ppa and still haven't been able to get
things going. I tried all of your commands and the only one that works
is the last with the same output.

The iwlist ra0 scanning tells me that the interface does not support
scanning.

ifconfig ra0 gives me "device not found"

I'm going to reinstall and see if that makes any difference
