Thanks Ben! I am running it on Linux-2.4.0-test6. I needed to hack airo.h
for some reason as it failed to take the correct action on each of the
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < 0x203..) lines. I forced it to take to #else
action and it now compiles cleanly.

However, when I "cardctl eject" followed by "cardctl insert", "ifconfig -a"
then hangs and although I can proceed to reboot, even the reboot hangs forcing
a power cycling. I believe that the eth0 interface comes halfway back up but
various kernel structures are corrupted. For example, after the above sequence
of cardctls, "ls" reports that /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config is there, but
"cat"ing it causes a segmentation fault (as does "cat"ing Status etc.).

I hope you can use this information to fix the problem.

Cheers,

Bob Edwards.
