[Acx100-users] D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ hangs machine

Hello! I just bought a D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ in the hopes that this driver would support it. Unfortunately this is not the case, my notebook hangs after loading the acx100_pci module. I tried acx100 version 0.2.0-pre2, 0.2.0-pre1, 0.1h and CVS. I used firmware revision 1.50 from the Linux driver as well as 1.9.3 from my Windows driver CD, all with no success. I've read all the docs, spent some time in Google, but still I cannot find a solution. Thus I'm hoping that someone here might help me out... My setup: Toshiba Satellite 320CDT with a homebrewed 2.4.22 kernel and latest wireless tools. At first I had problems with the wrong regulatory domain being set, I resolved this by hardcoding 0x30 into src/acx100_helper.c. Here is part of the output that happens after insmod, sorry I cannot give you the full output, the machine hangs, I'm copying this from the screen by hand.. Changing to channel 6 <AcxSetStatus> iStatus = 1 (SCANNING) <acx100_set_timer> Elapse = 3000000 When I tried again with the AP shut down, I get the following additional output and the machine does not hang anymore: Radio scan found 0 stations in this area. d11CompleteScan: no matching station found in range and not in Ad-Hoc mode --> giving up scanning. <AcxSetStatus> iStatus = 0 (STARTED) <acx100_set_timer> Elapse = 1500000 <acx_timer> iStatus = 0 NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out The last message is repeated ad infinitum. When I start up the AP again and issue an iwconfig command, I get the following message and the machine hangs again: <AcxSetStatus> iStatus = 1 (SCANNING) <acx100_set_timer> Elapse = 3000000 After a few minutes I get NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out ad infinitum again. Any clues what else I could try, test, patch, whatever? I also get this message Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 15 of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 12. Some things may be broken... although I am using kernel 2.4.22 and latest wireless tools from sourceforge. What must I update? Thanks in advance Diego P.S.: I'm having trouble subscribing to this mailing list, I get a confirmation email, but never seem to get subscribed after answering to this mail... >From diego Mon Sep 29 19:00:05 +0200 2003 To: acx...@li...

I'm stuck at this point, I've run through all the steps many times and read all the docs. Any clues what else I could try, test, patch, whatever? When I remove the card manually I sometimes get a kernel oops and my system freezes hard, only magic sysrq still works, sometimes, sometimes not. Are you guys interested in me decoding the oops?
