Maybe twenty feet through some walls.  I successfully tested with a
Windows machine and the adapter in more or less the same place.

How do scan results get returned from the device to the host computer?
 I can't see any place that the scans are actually received.  Does the
rx_tasklet handle this?  Are the few listed scan results just those
that are extracted by mac80211?  I ask because you can see the calls
to ieee80211_rx_irqsafe.

I was trying at76_usb + mac80211 when that was in staging, but I have
not tried ~ at76c503a.berlios.de staging version.  I can take a look.
