I recently got myself a new IBM Thinkpad A30P (2653-66U), which has
a built-in wireless lan interface.

I tried setting it up using the prism2_pci driver (0.11.3-pre1) on
linux 2.4.17-xfs.

Following the readme I tried:

  modprobe prism2_pci

  (output)
	init_module: prism2_pci.o: 0.1.13-devel1 Loaded

  wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=any authtype=opensystem
  ifconfig wlan0 192.168.103.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.103.255


All of which seemed to work fine, but then - trying to ping
192.168.103.1 yields the error message

	p80211knetdev_hard_start_xmit: Tx attempt prior to association, frame dropped.

Any clue what's causing this, and how to fix this?



One additional thing, I tried the whole thing from scratch later
(reloading the module, running wlanctl-ng again, ...), but when I
called wlanctl-ng again, I seem to have run into a little "kernel
panic".. :(

*smile* I guess, that little wasn't SUPPOSED to happen, was it?


Any help would be appreciated...
