dlink dwl-122g e1 on 9-stable, working only partially? (or not at all?)

[Christopher J. Ruwe]

Currently I am fighting with (against?) a dlink dwl-g122 usb wlan
dongle. The casing is claiming the thing to be of H/W-version E1,
F/W-version 5.00, which I interpret as hardware and firmware.

I am running 9-stable (FreeBSD ritchie.cruwe.de 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD
9.0-STABLE #8 r235064: Fri May 11 21:32:52 CEST 2012
cjr at ritchie.cruwe.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RITCHIE  amd64) and
admittedly, dwl-g122 is not included in the hw-compatibility list for
9.0. 

I am also aware that others have been unsuccessful, though some time
back, to get dlw-g122 e running
(http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=27123).

However, I am somewhat successful in getting the dongle recognized by
if_run.ko, though not to work as I would like to:

dmesg gives then

I have no explanation for the multiple occurrences, I have been trying
for some time now, though.

After

sudo ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev run0 wlanmode hostap
sudo ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid bsdap
channel - 

I get

run0: flags=8a43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric

        ether b8:a3:86:97:c1:ec

This looks quite reasonable to me, however, I have been unsuccessful so
far to get the ssid bsdap to appear on any scan done from the
prospective clients (one 9-stable notebook, two Linux notebooks and one
Nexus S android).

Does anyone have an idea what is left to try or should I give up and
look for another solution to build a wireless-capable router?

Thanks in advance, cheers and have a nice weekend,
