Kernel 2.6.2 and Prism-based PCMCIA WLAN cards

[Andreas Ehn <ehn@kth.se>]

Hi,

I have installed the 2.6.2 kernel binary package (kernel-image) that
recently entered Debian unstable. However, I haven't been able to get
my IEEE 802.11b PCMCIA card to work.

It is a Symbol Spectrum24 card, which is based on the Prism 1 chip and
works well in 2.4. When I insert the card running 2.6.2 the machine
locks up. Sometime it becomes available again when I remove the card,
and sometimes it stays locked up.

Any suggestion on what might be wrong?

Best regards,
Andreas
