Hi again.
After looking the sources I found the error in the condition on the line 598 of the file packetsource_wext.cc, the function tries to get the mode of the interface using ioctl and fails with this card/module returning error. The thing is this check is not necessary when using mac80211 and could be placed right after the next block - if(use_mac80211) - which checks and set all for the interface using mac80211 and returns.
The condition just looks misplaced there, moved it after the mac80211 stuff and recompiled, it is capturing now.
