Hi,

As the subject says...


Sep  1 21:06:06 ritmo wlan.agent[11122]: Unknown prism2 hardware type
(), assuming SSF
Sep  1 21:06:06 ritmo wlan.agent[11122]: Firmware failed to load for
device wlan0
Sep  1 21:06:06 ritmo wlan.agent[11122]: WLAN Could not bring up wlan0
Sep  1 21:06:06 ritmo kernel: hfa384x_drvr_start: cmd_initialize()
failed, result=-5
Sep  1 21:06:06 ritmo kernel: prism2sta_ifstate: hfa384x_drvr_start()
failed,result=-5


I have searched the lists and tried the patch to prism.shared suggested
by
http://lists.linux-wlan.com/pipermail/linux-wlan-user/2004-June/012623.html

I have also tried to manually disable and load the firmware as suggested
elsewhere:

wlanctl-ng wlan0  lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=disable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=fwload

So far nothing seems to work.

Also the device is very temperamental as to whether it will actually
accept a USB address (error -110), repeated attempts and an oblique
insertion into the USB socket helps.

Any suggestions?

TIA
Nigel
