Description of problem:
When starting the wireless LAN card, a Belkin F5D6020 ver 2 with
atmelwlandriver (pcmf502re) the computer locks only when the AP is on:

These are the commands I use to start the WLAN:

modprobe yenta_socket
/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart

With the AP on, the machine freezes completely.  If I turn it on after
running the above commands, then all is well.  

I have tried several times with the AP on and off and acheived
consistent results - not sure whether this is an atmelwlandriver
problem or pcmcia problem.. The logs seem to indicate an IRQ conflict.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-1.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. turn AP on
2. modprobe yenta_socket
3. /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart


Actual Results:  The PC locks up - removing and reinserting the PCMCIA
card has no effect - system needs a power cycle to recover.

Expected Results:  Wireless LAN should associate with the Access Point

Additional info:

Following are /var/log/messages at the point where it crashed:

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2005-04-26 16:10:03 UTC
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Comment 2 Chris Rosewarne 2005-04-27 11:24:37 UTC
I observed this problem only with the 'atmelwlandriver' under FC2.  I am now
using FC3 and firmware from http://thekelleys.org.uk/atmel/.  I'm happy for this
to be marked as a Wontfix as its no longer giving me grief + FC2 is old now. 
(There is a separate issue with the thekelleys.* firmware I need to investigate
further).
