Latest wi0 crashes with stable

Hi all,

I decided tonight to change the way my wireless network works
to see if I could get around the wi0 crashes on my 4.6-STABLE
box.

I've turned off WEP, after seeing a suggestion to do so in
-CURRENT but the network crashes continue to occur.

After the last crash I decided to down the wi0 interface to see
if I could get networking working again.

The
  ifconfig wi0 down
command came back with the error
  wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

The other network interfaces started working again after a little
while but the wi0 interface will not start up again and immediately
upon trying to up the interface starts spewing out messages like

chip# ifconfig wi0 up
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

My wi0 card is a Netgear MA401 in a MA301 PCI cradle.

Anyone know how I can check old versions of the wi driver out
using cvsup? Things were working great a month ago!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers
Gavin
