Version 5 firmware has a different hardware to driver interface and needs
different drivers.


Comment 2 Jason Tibbitts 2003-10-22 16:36:13 UTC
A changeset went into 2.6 airo.c a couple of months ago with the description:

[wireless airo] add support for MIC and latest firmwares

This seems to have been backported into recent 2.4.23-pre releases.  Hopefully
"latest firmwares" includes the 5.X versions; if so, this may make it into
Fedora before long.

Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:41:07 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
