I still have not succeeded in solving the problem. On bootup there is
a message that loading module p80221 failed because it is already
installed in the kernel. After bootup I can modprobe prism2_pci and run
the two wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate and _autojoin commands and they
report success but ifup -a wont bring up wlan0. What should I change in
my kernel configuration?
