[Madwifi-users] dwl-G520 no txpower?

[Chuck B. <cha...@ta...>]

First I'd like to thank everyone on the users list for posting their
help and experiences with the project.

I've compiled a cvs snapshot from September 29th on RH 9.0 kernel 2.4.20-18.9.
There is no problem loading the modules or configuring the wireless pci card.
It just doesn't seem to transmit.  There are copious "NETDEV WATCHDOG: ath0:
transmit timed out" messages in dmesg output.  I'm guessing I have a hardware
conflict.  Any ideas out there?  Thanks in advance.
