DWL-520 Ver E1. testing

[mrcool at stupidgamerz.com]

First, thanks all for your work on the newer (firmwareless) cards.  I have
sucessfully made both a DWL 520 (pci card) and the DWL 650 (pcmcia) cards to
work, using the latest CVS and SuSE 8.2, and SuSE 9.0 distros.  Yesterday i
had to make that change to prism2_srec.c for the PCI card.  but today's
(12/31) CVS doesnt even have that line it anymore, (but i dont think that is
a problem).  

Im trying to make the DWL520 PCI card work in a wisp-dist.  kernel 2-4-20. 
Being wisp-dist, everything is done "the hard way" (by that i mean i have to
manually load all created drivers, and NOT from the default location, so a
typical insmod is : "insmod /drivers/hostap.o" this works fine, without the
".o" it tries from the default location (and gets the "wrong" driver), none
of this should really be a problem, and hasnt been in the past...anyway...

The drivers are cross-compiled on a SuSE 8.0 system, that i have been using
for some time, and i havent had any problems before... SO... here is what
happens... (and my sequence)

wisprouter: -root-
# insmod /drivers/hostap.o
Using /drivers/hostap.o

wisprouter: -root-
# insmod /drivers/hostap_crypt_wep.o
Using /drivers/hostap_crypt_wep.o

wisprouter: -root-
# insmod /drivers/hostap_pci.o      
Using /drivers/hostap_pci.o
insmod: init_module: hostap_pci: No such device

wisprouter: -root-
# insmod /drivers/hostap_pci.o no_primary=1
Using /drivers/hostap_pci.o

wisprouter: -root-

Verifying update compatibility and combining data:
Plugging PDR 0400 (NIC configuration): ram16=1 pci=1 (07 00)
OK.

Downloading to volatile memory (RAM).
OK.

<<<here is where a problem becomes evident>>>

SuSE 8.2 is 2.4.20-4GB so i know the 2.4.20 kernel is supported (I have made
the pcmcia card work on this distro) and have made the PCI card work on the
SuSE90 dist.  The problem seems to be on the second prism2_srec with the
primary firmware, and ONLY on this wisp-dist (for me anyways).  

Thanks for everything guys.
