We're using miniPCI WiFi cards in our mini-PC's:
00:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3886 [Prism
Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01)
OS is Debian Lenny with 'custom' kernel (3.2.24 from kernel.org).
The WiFi cards usually work without problems except that from time to
time they don't start during the boot up process. Here's what I found in
logs:
Nov 7 05:12:24 hostname kernel: [ 21.323335] ieee80211 phy0: FW rev
2.13.25.0 - Softmac protocol 5.9
Nov 7 05:12:24 hostname kernel: [ 21.323435] ieee80211 phy0:
cryptographic accelerator WEP:YES, TKIP:YES, CCMP:YES
Nov 7 05:12:24 hostname kernel: [ 22.567542] ieee80211 phy0: Cannot
boot firmware!
Nov 7 05:12:24 hostname kernel: [ 22.567843] p54pci: probe of
0000:00:02.0 failed with error -110
Anybody got an idea why firmware might not have loaded (and did without
any changes after next reboot 24hrs later)?
Is this a hardware problem with WiFi card (we had few that didn't work
at all 'out of the box')? Maybe a problem with 'hard disk' (we are using
Compact Flash cards)?
regards,
Piotr Kaczorek
