Comment (by anonymous):

 I'm working on the project to port Atheros 5212 card to our powerpc
 IBM405GP platform. The madwifi code is the latest one -- I check it out
 from svn. HAL
 version is the latest 0.9.17.2. I used DENX kernel 2.4.25 distribution and
 DENX
 toolchain to build it with powerpc-be-eabi.inc for HAL.

 On our board, this module is connected to interrupt pin 30 (IRQ5) as
 device 4. Once I try to bring up the interface it keep printing out
 "hardware error; reseting", and the system never recovers.

 Here's the log.
