Can you please tell us which version of RF frontend and MAC processor do you have? You can see it in the dmesg output.

Especially earlier version of the rtl8187 MAC need a quite long procedure to turn on. It is not symptom of any problem. > > iwlist wlan0 scan gives: wlan0 No scan results Should the scan find a lot of APs or just one ? Are you close to any AP? If you have other working cards can you please provide us a indicative measure of AP signal strength? Is it possible that the sensitivity of the card is not enough to find the AP? on which channel is the AP? > > Is it possible, though the driver catches the device and I don't get any > > error-messages, that the Stick cannot be used under linux? If the device is a rtl818L, and it is likely to be, since the driver catches it, then it should work. If it doesn't not then it is probably a bug. rtl8187B is not supported, but it should not be catched by the driver (should have different USB id). Oh, do you have an USB port 1.x or 2.0 ?
