ok, now I'm a step ahead, i moved my device to the section around line
1562. By using w_scan every occupied frequencys were found, but scanning
for services (pids) isn't successful at all. The card finds only a few
channels and the signal strength is very poor -> a lot of artefacts. My
Antenna is good justified and with Windows and the Original Software it
works well.
Is there any way to optimize the reception?

PS: My Card gots a led, it turns always on when i connect it with my
notebook.
