Hi All,
I'm having problems getting the berlios driver working and would really
appreciate some help. To me the problem appears to be a problem matching
my wireless card & access points settings - but I'm not sure what I'm
missing.
NOTE: This is a dual boot machine and the nic can see the AP with
excellent reception in win XP so that is not an issue.
FYI I'm running:
Distro: Fedore Core 3
Kernel: 2.6.10 (no patches)
Driver ver: v1.72? Unsure - CVS from approx 2 weeks ago
wlan0 Device: BT Voyager 1010 USB (VID: 0x69a, PID: 0x821)
AP: BT Voyager 2020
After make; make install is succesful and plugging in the device
everything appears ok:

As soon as I've run ifconfig my /var/log/kern.debug file starts filling

I've also tried to set the AP manually with iwconfig, but it still shows
00:00:00:00:00:00 for the AP after running:
[root@U4ea ~]# iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:90:96:62:F7:C3
Please could someone advise me what I should try next to troubleshoot
the problem? If you require any further logs please ask and I shall post
them asap.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Haydn.
