Problems with MSI WLAN Box

Hello list,

I am trying to get my new MSI WLAN Box to work but I have some
Problems. I am using kernel 2.6.5 and I have compiled and installed
the drivers without problems. I am using at76c505_rfmd2958, it loads
the firmware and I have now an interface wlan0.

I have no AP, I am trying to communicate with an XP notebook in ad-hoc
mode. The Nodebook seems to work fine (I can see some APs around)
but I get no link between my linux box and the notebook. My linux box
does not seem to transmit anything. With debug enabled I get the following
output, with seems ok to me.

Can anybody give me a hint what may be wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Christoph Bayer
