As WLAN cards tend to be for mobile devices I thought it would be good to make a little noise here in case the people who submitted the patches that broke wi are hanging around here :D Hi, I'm having some problems with wi in 5-CURRENT and 5.1 in general. I'm using a Proxim Skyline 802.11b PC Card (which I believe uses the Prism 2 chipset). The PC Card is using the 0.3.0 primary and 0.8.3 secondary firmware (which I believe is the latest). I have a Dell Inspiron 8200. The card works fine in Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.0, but in 5.1 if I use ifconfig to bring up the card (for example during boot) it locks my laptop up for about a minute while I get loads of error messages appear on screen. Eventually I get a 'init failed' and 'tx buffer allocation failed (error 12)' error, and although ifconfig says the interface is up it doesn't actually work. I'm using 128bit wep in case that's relevant. I would really appreciate some help as I've spent hours (like about 20) now sitting here recompiling the kernel, updating to the current branch and trying that, etc... Please help!
