Hi again,

For some reason it stopped working. The next time I started up, it 
doesn't work. I look in dmesg and I noticed that there are some wrong 
board type errors. Please note, I'm not using the standard version or 
the driver, I modified it to use the acc firmware, otherwise the radio 
doesn't turn on (I'm using the SMC 2662 V.2, My mods to use the acc 
firmware work properly with the 2.4.x kernel version). I tried it 
without my mods, and I don't get the wrong board type errors, but the 
radio doesn't turn on. I have remembered to use both iwconfig, then used 
ifconfig and set an IP.
