[Madwifi-devel] Re: [Madwifi-users] no turbo on IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II

[Rasto S. <ra...@ks...>]

OK. Replying my own post. The thing seems to be, that both turbo modes
are switched off. I can switch them on, but madwifi won't load, saying
wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'EEPROM checksum invalid' (HAL status
7).
Is it possible, to change these somehow through the HAL? Without 
rewriting them on the EEPROM? It seems to be possible with windows 
driver, unfortunately I don't have windows. 
Thanks, 
Rasto
