[Madwifi-users] Proxim/Orinoco 'Silver' 11b/g

[Patrick M G. <pmg...@th...>]

Folks - 

I've got a Proxim badged 'silver' 11b/g card.  The serial number on the 
back is 8470WD.  As best I can tell, this card is based on an Atheros 
chipset.

I installed madwifi on my Gentoo laptop(Dell Inspiron2650C) yesterday, 
running 2.6.0test6.  
The modules compiled fine(with the modsetver->modversions move) and they 
insmodded fine.

However, any attempts to use iwconfig cause an immediate system hang.  
iwconfig doesn't return, and the system doesn't respond to keyboard or 
mouse.  If I eject the card, the system immediately reboots.

Anyone seen similiar behavior before?  Should I file this as a bug, or is 
it a known issue?  

Similiarly, if someone does have an idea, I'd love to help test it - 
getting this card working would be great.
