It appears that the driver cannot talk to your card; see the "max tries exceeded when issueing command". Did this card work previously with a kernel? Can narrow down which kernels have problems and which don't? > Any ideas? > > 1) Firmware upgrade/downgrade? (How?) It's a bit hard to figure out what firmware you have because the driver can't talk to the card; can you boot under Windows and determine that using the Cisco wireless utility? You also need to flash the card under Windows, not Linux, ideally to a version of firmware greater than 5.60.08. > 2) Command sequence to better reset the card? Documentation? reloading the driver (rmmod airo; modprobe airo) should reset the card.
