Hello, everyone!
Here I got Intel Pro/Wireless 2011 AP (802.11b)
Today after reinstalling it to another room it fails booting.
If I connect serial console cable to it I can see that it boots
to system menu (even can select menu entries) and then
reboots itself after 1-2 seconds
(some kind of hardware watchdog may be)
I did removed PCMCIA radio card from the AP and installed it
into my laptop, it also fails with following diagnostics:
---- cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------

Does that mean that card is somehow fried?
I also tried inserting Lucent Orinoco card from my laptop to
AP's pcmcia slot. With this card AP will boot OK and won't
reboot itself as with original card. But I assume orinoco lacks
stuff needed for AP operation (AP radio won't work with it)
Any ideas??
p.s. Also tried resetting AP by shorting pins 2 and 3 of console port,
AP will not restart itself while pins short (but won't work too), but when
removing short and resetting AP everything repeats and I also can
see that it did not actually reset nvram values, except for auth mode
and channel set. (AP host name, IP, etc left untouched).
Cheers,
ALex.
