Re: Cicso wireless problem after kernel update

[mickey <mickey gccsda com>]

Help, Please!

Once I boot with [any] newer kernel (newer than 2.6.5.1.358) then insert 
the cisco 340 nic, my computer partially dies. 

My computer uses the yenta_socket. pcmcia_core shows airo_cs, ds, 
yenta_socket (from lsmod).  I don't know where to start troubleshooting...

Update:
I've updated my system to 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 and still have the same 
problem.  I went on vacation this last week, and used my wireless from 
numerous hotels;  Always the same, kerel xx.358 works fine, and couldn't 
get anywhere with newer kernels.
