RE: MA111 problems at boot

Hank,
 
Have you tried looking at all the archived material at the Linux Questions site?  When I was wrestling with my MA111 (Fedora Core 3 and Ubuntu) I found all of what I needed there.  Try searching for "MA111" there or this thread:

Hope that helps.

Subject: [lwlan-user] MA111 problems at boot


Hi everyone,

I've asked for help with this before, but didn't receive much response.  Does anyone have any ideas?

I am using a Netgear MA111 USB adapter with Fedora Core 2 running kernel 2.6.8-1.521.  I installed linux-wlan-ng 0.2.1 pre26 and it works just fine, with the exception of, what I gather is, a pretty common problem.

If the adapter is plugged in when I boot (or restart) the computer, it is not recognized.  I found the FAQ that suggests I add "options prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1" to modules.conf.  Since I have a 2.6x kernel, I popped that into my modprobe.conf file, but it doesn't seem to have done anything.
I added it at the very beginning of the file, before either of these commands:

alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias wlan0 prism2_usb

Does that make a difference?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the parts of my dmesg output that refer to USB and WLAN.  I have attached the full dmesg output as a text file, in case I missed anything.
