Hello. I'm having trouble with my airo card using the later kernel. I'm on a Dell Insprion 4100. No kernel
options are provided at boot.
kernel-2.6.5-1.358
Works fine. Plug it in, card is recognized, modules load, network scripts do their thing and
network comes up.
kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3
Hangs. Plug it in, /var/log/messages says:

Jul 23 08:57:14 xxx kernel: airo: MAC enabled eth1 0:7:e:b9:3a:6f
That's it. At that point, ifconfig hangs, iwconfig hangs. The machine cannot even be shut down nicely,
and needs a hard power cycle to get back in the game.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. --sdk
