Re: [Aironet] Bug in Bens driver (old driver versions)

[Benjamin R. <br...@al...>]

I wish I had used RCS, but I was very short sighted.  Since the driver has
been in the PCMCIA distribution for a while, the best way to get old
versions is to grab old PCMCIA distributions.

I found a version 1.1 in my archives. This one solved my
problem.

I would like to suggest that Ben put not only the newest
version on his site, but also the former versions. So if
someone has problems with the newest version (like I) can
try an older one.
