Hi list.
I have a D-Link PCI card based on the Prism 2.5 chip and it is sort of
working with the hostap_pci driver. But the driver will lock up my machine every now
and then. When my machicne locks up the console says:
wlan0: Interrupt, but SWSUPPORT0 does not match 8A32 != 8A32 - card removed?
hostap_pci: wlan0 resetting card
I have poked around in the source and made a patch that works for me,
but I have no idea if it is the correct way to do it.
The driver will also report the following shortly after a reset:
wlan0: could not find matching txfid (0x01a1) for alloc event
with 0x01a1 being diffrent each time.
