Senao 2511 CD Plus ext2 (was Problem with SMC2532W-B V2 (0xd601 0x0010)

[Michael Krigsman]

I have a Senao 2511 CD Plus ext2 giving the same type of errors:

   prism2_enable_aux_port: was not disabled!?
   prism2_enable_aux_port(0) timed out
   Wifi0: valid PDA not found 
   hfa384x_setup_bap - timeout before kernel 

This is a prism 2.5 card and works perfectly in Windows, so it is not the
hardware. I have tried both hostap and wlan_ng with no luck. The card is
new.

Can anyone suggest a way to troubleshoot this? Thank you.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the response.  These cards have FCC XI-330*, but the serial
numbers are:
S33HP55NU00541
S33HP53NU01103

The first one has a 55 but the other one, bought at the same time (but not
necessarily from the same batch), doesn't have any of 55, 56 or 58.

Looks like Zcomax/SMC may be messing with the hardware...  Frustrating.
