Bug#395266: linux-image-2.6.18-1-k7: hostap driver no longer working since 2.6.16
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-k7
Version: 2.6.18-3
Severity: normal
I haven't been able to use the hostap_plx driver in kernels later than 2.6.16.
In 2.6.17-1-k7 and 2.6.18-1-k7 I have been getting this in my syslog:
Oct 18 19:54:33 suppressingfire kernel: hostap_plx: 0.4.4-kernel (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>)

Oct 18 19:54:33 suppressingfire kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:0a.0 disabled
If I boot with the 2.6.16 kernel, it works fine. I've had to keep linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7 version 2.6.16-18
installed in order to use my computer as an infrastructure/master mode access point.
