Public bug reported:
kernel hackers be aware: At first glance this appears to be a bug in the
driver p54. But I have discovered a workaround which suggests it's not.
This is why I did not put this against the linux-source-2.6.20 package.
I have my system in a state now where if I boot the pc with the Netgear
wireless card inserted, the output from dmesg shows:
[ 36.698584] 0000:03:00.0 (prism54pci): Cannot read eeprom!
[ 36.698656] prism54pci: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -22
The system does not show the network device wlan0. If I remove the card and
re-insert it, problem solved, the card initialises, wlan0 appears and off I go
to grab the latest ep. of lugradio.
I have also booted from cold *without* the card inserted, and then proceeded to
insert it, this works and I'm on the internet in seconds.
I really need some help narrowing down the cause of this, obviously the
environment the card is initialised in during boot is different to when
it is inserted after boot.
