Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic
When using more than 3.5 Gigabyte RAM on Hardy 64bit my Prism54 PCI-
Card for W-LAN (Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism
Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow]) doesn't work anymore:
scanning gives no results, joining a network is impossible but the
interface is still there and correctly detected. Booting with the
mem=3500M option makes the card work again.
dmesg shows nothing else than
" [ 70.386563] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready"
Syslog says
"May 27 18:00:17 pyramus dhclient: wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
May 27 18:00:17 pyramus kernel: [ 467.673011] wlan0: authenticate with AP
00:14:6c:09:de:fa
May 27 18:00:18 pyramus kernel: [ 467.872855] wlan0: authenticate with AP

May 27 18:00:18 pyramus kernel: [ 468.072707] wlan0: authentication with AP
00:14:6c:09:de:fa timed out"
My AP indeed is 00:14:6c:09:de:fa. The authentication is simple128 bit
WEP encryption.
