Re: Problems with SMC 2662W

Hi,

What module did you use? I had to use the -acc one, and tell it the USB 
id of my 2662W. Those changes are now in the CVS version. You can get 
the CVS version at: http://at76c503a.berlios.de/cvs.html
So to summarise, use the cvs version with the at76c503-rfmd-acc module 
instead of the at76c503-rfmd one.
