Hi Warner--

I'm almost hesitant to post this, but I tried this patch, and a
Lucent WaveLan Silver card that I have is still a paperweight.

I'm running CURRENT (GENERIC kernel) from 6 March on an IBM ThinkPad
T21.  This includes if_wi.c 1.130 and if_wivar.h 1.15.

The card probes like this (copied by hand, so transcription errors are
possible):

wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:2d:2b:93:12
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (6.16.1)
wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0002; event status 0x0080
wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x0080
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

To me, it looks like the patch (which applied cleanly) had no effect.
Can I do something else to help fix this?

Thanks!

Bruce.
