WL100 stopped working

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

Hi,

I have been using this card 8+ hours a day for months
with kernel 2.6.* and hostap/latest. Suddenly it stopped
working:
cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.
cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: excluding 0x800-0x84f

wlan0: hfa384x_set_rid: CMDCODE_ACCESS_WRITE failed (res=-110, rid=fc00,

Any idea what the problem could be? what could be wrong?

I remember trying the new 2.6.1 kernel, misconfigured it once
(some parts of hostap compiled in, other as modules -> didn't
work for some reason). And - although I hope this has nothing
to do with the card now being deat - I installed netbsd 1.6.1
(standard installation, didn't even try to use the wlan card,
but later I remembered it was still in the pcmcia/pccard slot
all the time).

So I did nothing wrong, still the card dies. 
It's not a software problem, my allnet card is working fine
with the same configuration.

Any idea how I can bring the card back to live?
