[Airo-linux-gen80211] half-broken airo 350 -- full reset?

[Paul F. <pg...@fo...>]

i have an airo 350 pcmcia card which has stopped working, sort of.

it works fine, in ad-hoc mode, to another linux host, if there's no
encryption.  if i turn encryption on, it no longer connects.  i've
tried both 4.25.23 and 4.25.30 firmware in the card.  (i had hoped
that upgrading the firmware might "clear" whatever was ailing it. :-)

i'm confident that this is a card issue, and not a config issue, because
if i take a second, borrowed, airo card and plug it in instead, the
replacement card works fine, with encryption.

so:  is it possible that the eeprom on my airo 350 is hosed
somehow?  is there a way to erase it, or force a re-init?  is
it possible that the "encryption h/w" (whatever that might refer
to) in my card has simply failed?

any tips welcome...
