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. Boris Reisig (bo...@bo...)
