A RALINK wireless works fine on Ubuntu 7.04

The problem is with an alternate Motorola brand modem, really:
 Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
0280: 14e4:4320 (rev 03)
Subsystem: 1057:7010
which is OK under Microsoft and did work under some previous Debian kernel

Upon loading the bcm43xx driver or alternate ndiswrapper route, there is related by:
$ iwconfig
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"Broadcom 4306"
          Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid
          RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
          Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Subsequent parameter setting commands use iwconfig fail to alter this configuration.

In contrast there is complete success with the RALINK wireless with rt2500 driver, using the
$ sudo iwconfig ra0 PARAMETER
changes.

So since this 14e4:4320 worked earlier under Debian and iwconfig is sane for the RALINK wireless, this is some combination of ingredients problem.
