Strange deconnections of Cisco 350 series CardBus network card on new kernels
Hi,
A few days ago I installed linux-image-2.6.14-rc5 and yaird on my
PowerBook Aluminium. A bit later i installed udev too. Until then I
have successfuly used for several months a wireless card (Cisco 350
series) with pcmcia-cs, hotplug and stuff.
Since I have installed these three programs my wireless card does not
connect to AP. I have tried two APs on two different networks. I have
tried various ifup/ifdown/iwconfig/dhclient combinations... Sometimes
it connects, but it deconnects 10-20 minutes later, and during this time
ping packets are sometimes delayed up to 10 seconds. Sometimes I cannot
even succeed to connect it.
I suppose this is in connection with the kernel because the problems
started *exactly* when I installed these programs.
Even if I boot with the previous kernel (2.6.12) the problem persists.
When executing iwlist it generally prints:
snoopy:~# iwlist eth2 scan
eth2 Failed to read scan data : No data available
[IIRC ethereal on eth2 shows the sent ARP packets, but no one answers to
them.]
A cable (eth0) works ok.
I really do not understand what happened, any help will be really
appreciated.

My /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#up /etc/init.d/ntp-server start
#down /etc/init.d/ntp-server stop
# The wifi interface (Eugen)
allow-hotplug eth2
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
pre-up /etc/network/eugen
And my "eugen" file:
[A series of if/else to discover the right location where I am]
iwconfig $IFACE essid ... key ... commit
dhclient $IFACE
