Hi,
I'm not subscribed, so please cc me on any reply.
I've built and installed today's -git kernel
(v2.6.33-rc1-225-gc9f937e) and find that my (rt61pci) wireless card no
longer works. All the usual drivers are loaded when I insert the card.
The card works fine with 2.6.32.2 (as long as I disable power saving).
The symptoms are that:
1. The file /proc/net/wireless never appears
2. iwconfig gives "wlan0 no wireless extensions."
3. ifconfig wlan0 up succeeds
4. iwconfig wlan0 essid MYSSID gives
Cannot read /proc/net/wireless
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
5. ifconfig -a gives:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:50:DE:04:F4

6. /proc/net/dev contains:

7. dmesg shows the following messages triggered by insertion of the card:

I'll see if I can find time for a bisect session tomorrow, but let me
know if I can supply any additional diagnostics.
Thanks
