My Lucent card works too in a Dell Inspiron 8000 running 2.0_RC4.

I found a report (in German) regarding the ELSA card:

http://www.forum.netzwerkrouter.de/phpBB/viewtopic.php3?topic=11080&forum=6&start=10

Please read the last forum entry.

It says that the firmware on the ELSA card is broken, but you can flash
new firmware under Windows.

If you bought the ELSA card in a bundle with an access point then you
cannot use the card with the new firmware in the access point but
it works fine in a notebook (under Linux).
