Perhaps someone with compiling experience can offer some ideas.

We 'rolled our own' module for the Breezecom PCD wireless card from the 
2.4 code on the Breezecom site.  They don't seem to be actively supporting 
this card under Linux as this code looks to be the same as when I did this 
for the Eiger 2.2 kernel a year ago.  The 2.4 files are still called 
'beta' - not a good sign.

Compiled against the Bering kernel and pcmcia package used in RC2, the 
module seems to be created without problems.

If no AP is within range, the card loads, tries to find an AP, fails and 
tells the logs of the problem.  The box seems to run properly.  However, 
if an AP is in range, the boot process almost completes to the logon 
prompt before it crashes when the kernel implodes with a screen full of 
numbers and a lockup.  The AP shows that the LEAF box successfully 
associated itself on the system right before everything went nuclear.  The 
boot process seems to show the association before the screen fills (to 
fast to read fully).

So, it is the act of association, or something resulting from a successful 
association that causes the kernel to crash.  Any suggestions as to where 
the problem is?  I'm leaning toward the module itself, but wonder about 
card services or something in the 'if up' procedure.  I'm not clear 
enough on how the gears mesh to make any better guesses!

Any ideas?
