Hmm, your kernel config did not seem to have LEDS_TRIGGER defined.
That's a problem with non-distro custom-rolled kernel... For that
matter, which bits of the kernel did you build as modules and which
compiled in? I guess I need the output of these two commands:
lsmod
find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates

Hmm, can you *not* run wpa_supplicant? This is about the 3rd time I
asked - if you are not using encryption, you don't need
wpa_supplicant. You should be doing just 'ifconfig wlan0 up', and
'ifconfig wlan0' and 'iwconfig wlan0' and see what they say. And do
*not* do it in X - if there is any last minute crash message, it would
be in the text console and you should be better doing these in
run-level 3.

There isn't really a 'version' for the driver - it entered the kernel
about a year and half ago, and only a few people had worked on it
since, and not in any major way.
