Re: DLINK DWL-122 on ARM platform not stable, why?

Thank you, Solomon!
The driver version I tried is 0.2.2, 0.2.3 and 0.2.5. Firmware
information like below:
ident: nic: id=0x8026 1.0.0
ident: pri: id=0x15 1.1.3
ident: sta: id=0x15 1.7.1
But I couldn't find suitable firmware for my dongle because I found no
firmware is used for nic id=0x8026. I'm not sure if those firmware
could used on my dongle?

I tried WEP with "sharedkey", but the result is the same. So will you
please give me some idea on firmware updating? Thanks a lot!
