Newton,

I have several Bering boxes running with the Lucent Silver cards.  Aside
from WEP, they should be the same as yours.  I'm running firmware 8.1
also, but I do note that there is an 8.72 available now.  Don't know if
that breaks anything with Bering!

I've seen similar reset messages on my systems when I try to move a lot
of data and the connection strength is not good.  However, I don't think
that is the problem in your case - the log entry mentioning Intersil is
a red flag.  The system seems to think you have a PRISM2 card if I
recall what Intersil is correctly.

I went through the problem of Intersil being found and eventually
cleared out the different configuration files of all unnecessary card
entries before the card was identified correctly.  Somewhere I saw a
comment that the driver doesn't always see the card correctly if you
specify a portion of the MAC address in the config... I used the *,*,*,*
in the end and that, perhaps in conjunction with a very clean config
file, solved the problem.  I was suspicious that the script was perhaps
reading the configuration files oddly as it seemed to skip over my card
and settle on the Intersil as the next best thing.

Anyway, these suggestions are based on not a whole lot ;-)  But they did
do the trick for me!
