Try to improve signal strength, so that it become at least 92.
Also use following command:
# ifconfig rum0 roam:rssi 0 roam:rate 0
So that card do not roam if signal strength is lower than 7 rssi (7 is default).

Thanks for the tips!
I was in a hurry to get this card working that actually I haven't noticed that the card was down.
The command I used is this (after bringing the interface up):
# ifconfig rum0 roam:rssi11g 0 roam:rate11g 0
Currently I'm not at home and that's why I use this wireless card, and btw the signal is not that good really, but it serves me well - I get about 600-700KB/s which is enough for now.
Anyway I wasn't able to connect with this settings either.. Seems that I'll have to stick on winxp for the next two weeks, because I need that inet connection..
Anyway, Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!
