On a first approach these might help :
1.
To make sure that you're talking to the adapter type 'ifconfig'.
Any wlanX devices already installed or eth0, disable them with :
ifconfig XXXX down - where XXXX is eth0 and so on.
Do this until you only have 'lo' left in ifconfig
then activate your PCI with
ifconfig wlanx up
2.
If your wlan0/1 is found (check with ifconfig), use iwconfig to configure
it eg.
iwconfig wlan0 ssid default.
and so on.
If you temporarily turn on broadcast SSID on your router, at least the
frequent scheduled scan should see your router's SSID.
If you're only struggling with the WPA(2) supplicant, maybe first set your
router not to use encryption and get it talking like that.

PS : what kernel do you use ? I noticed that the wireless API changed after
2.6.23. I'm struggling with that myself and need to post this one of these
days.
While testing with an old WiFi USB dongle using the zd1201 driver, it works
perfect on my embedded Olimex SAM9 board.
(which uses 2.6.23.3).
The same driver needs some recompiling to run on my desktop Ubuntu which is
2.6.27.7.
Wireless event streaming is all buggered, the calling convention for
inlines like add_wireless_event_stream etc. has changed
but *should* be compatible (there's a compatibility flag in the info
struct).
Yet the NM in Ubuntu doesn't get the "joined" event from the zd1201 driver.
