I had loads of trouble getting dlink or oronoco to work peer to
peer with 4.2R or 4.3-Stable.  I eventually went to an oronoco base
station and things worked fine under 4.3-Stable and continued to
work after upgrading to 4.4-stable.  

My box is an HP omnibook 900i:

    CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (448.62-MHz 686-class CPU)
      Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x681  Stepping = 1
      Features=0x387f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,
	  CMOV,PAT,PSE36,PN,MMX,FXSR,SSE>
      real memory  = 201326592 (196608K bytes)
      avail memory = 190840832 (186368K bytes)


    YMMV
