I use the Netgear MA301/MA401 solution on my desktop with a Netgear access point. With MDK9 beta 4 everything worked perfectly; however, I just installed the RC3 and have noted the following:
1. During install the card is recognized and configured (Managed mode and any ESSID), the network is started for CUPS installation (I logged on to my router from another computer to check if the card was assigned an IP address and it was) and the installation terminated. 2. After reboot the wireless card can no longer be brought up. Perusing the dmesg output I have verified that the card is recognized and it's capabilities are listed. The last message is an error: "eth0: error -5 reading information frame. Frame dropped". 3. The iwconfig output shows that there is no link (0/96) but there are values for signal strength and noise levels. Obviously the installation program does something differently but I can't figure it out. Is this a configuration problem or has the wireless support (I'm using the orinoco_plx driver) been broken?
