The p54 driver family reports a quality of 0 in iwconfig and iwlist

Unrelated, do you have a p54 card? Does it work? I wasn't sure whether
the tx-info sbk->cb change broke it or not after I fixed up some things
there.
It is DW1450, which is a p54usb. It works with the latest wireless testing,
at least in b/g/mode. I don't have an 802.11a AP to try the 5 GHz mode.

What "special" modes work with it? (IBSS, monitor, AP, mesh, etc.)

I have only run it in managed mode. I bought it to use it in AP mode to test my BCM4312 802.11a/b/g card when b43 can handle 5 GHz channels, but that is for the future.

I gave a quick try of monitor mode with kismet. It saw the beacons from nearby APs, but never captured any other packets. I don't think it is working.
