Re: Problem with LinkSys WUSB11 v2.5 and kernel 2.6.11.12

James

A couple of things:

- For usb cards, the -pre26 driver is actually now quite
old. Many changes have occurred in the development
tree which greatly improve reliability with usb prism
based cards.

I would recommend searching the announce or devel archives
for how to get svn access, and checking out the latest
tree from svn (1739 I think), which hopefully will soon
be officially released (but has been 'real soon now' for
quite some time).


- The key line in your log is the dreaded
hfa384x_docmd: ctlx failure=REQ_TIMEOUT

often you can work around this by editing
scripts (perhaps in /etc/wlan, depends on distro)
to call wlanctl-ng ifstate=enable twice, or inserting
a sleep etc. Trawling the archives of this alias can
help, but exact edits depends on your distro and the
scripts it provides.
