Re: D-Link DCF-660W and wlanctl-ng causes kernel panic

Solomon,

I tried 0.2.5 and it miraculously works, Thanks!

BTW, there is a bug in 0.2.5.  In prism2_cs.c, line 44 defines
int prismsta_config(), but the actual function implementation
at line 880 says void prismsta_config(), which causes an error
when compiled.

Thanks,

Dzuy
