My Senao/EnGenius 200mW WiFi card was working fine for a few years, and now, |
| 2 |
after some upgrade and a power-outage that caused a reboot, it's not. I |
| 3 |
cannot figure out for the life of me what is wrong now. It's been two days |
| 4 |
of constant debugging and I'm out of ideas. I'm trying to use the kernel |
| 5 |
2.6.15-gentoo-r1 hostap and pcmcia drivers as per the suggestions I've read |
| 6 |
that have depricated the alternatives. It's frustrating, because the card |
| 7 |
appears to be recognized and I don't see any errors anywhere to debug |
| 8 |
further. |
