[Etherboot-developers] [Commit] Prism2a diff update.

[Boris R. <bo...@bo...>]

Ok, I took out all my other changes(spinlock and some error checking) but
just kept the prism_reset function. I had this problem that once I turn on
the computer and the system boots off the floppy, everything is alright. It
seems that after a few reboots after being on for a few days, The card
cannot be initialized anymore. The only cure was to turn off and then turn
on the computer. I read in the linux-wlan changelog about a surious
interrupt problem which I thought the spinlock function would fix it. Since
I added the spinlock code, I havent had that problem again so thats why I
added it into my patch. I will still have to check if the problem still
exists with *only* the reset function. Here is a new .diff update.
