Hello,

Support seems to be built into the kernel OK and everything looks good.
When I insert the card dmesg shows...

eth1: Atmel at76c50x wireless. Version 0.91 simon-xn1N/tgparsycpQjotevgVpr/1R2p/[email protected]
eth1: 3com 3CRSHPW_96 index 0x01: Vcc 3.3, irq 11, io 0x0100-0x011f

However, as soon as I do an "ifconfig eth0 up" the light goes off on the
card and "cat /proc/driver/atmel" returns:

Driver version:         0.91
Firmware version:       4.1 build 13
Firmware location:      atmel_at76c502_3com-wpa.bin loaded by hotplug
MAC memory type:        EEPROM
Regulatory domain:      Japan (MKK1)
Host CRC checking:      Off
WPA-capable firmware:   Yes
Current state:          Scanning

and "iwconfig eth0" gives me:

eth0      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:""  
          Mode:Managed  Channel:4  Access Point: FF:00:00:00:00:00  
          Bit Rate:11Mb/s   
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0
 
Thats as far as I can get, it seems to sit on scanning with the light
off on the card (and no sign of activity logged on the AP). I saw a
similar post on this mailing list which suggested an upgrade to 2.6.3
could fix a similar issue on another 3Com card however I have teh same
problem with 2.6.3 and 2.6.4.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dave
