Re: Aironet doesn't work

   I tried 2.4.4-ac2 this morning. The warning about rx_queue_len is
gone :-) but I have one about tx_full_rate:

May 1 12:37:25 oleron cardmgr[150]: + Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.4-ac2/kernel/drivers/net/aironet4500_core.o
symbol for parameter tx_full_rate not found

   That's easily solved by applying the following:

   I still get this message but I didn't have much time to play with the
irq / ioport allocations. That's what you meant by 'resources', right?
   Unfortunately I don't have access to the card anymore (well, I'll try
to borrow it again) so I won't be able to do more tests. Since it looks
like a hardware resource issue here are some more details about my
config for future cross-referencing. The laptop is a Sony Vaio F560.
lspci says the following:

   On another laptop the card was using interrupt 15 and ioports
0140-017f which on this one would conflict with ide1. But there's other
ranges available.
  0170-0177 : ide1
  15: 0 XT-PIC ide1
