prism2 drivers not working, need sync from upstream

[Tormod Volden]

I can not get my prism2_usb card to work with current Gutsy. I am pretty sure I had it working earlier (just before the Tribe 1 release). iwconfig returns "no wireless extensions", and network-manager thinks it is a wired device.

I tried the upstream svn (1832), and it builds and works fine, also with network-manager.

Still broken in 2.6.22-8-generic. And now I can't even get the svn to work... See attached syslog (compiled with debug and 5 in /sys/module/p80211/parameters/wlan_debug)

Sorry, the git 1832 version works fine with 2.6.22-8-generic. The modules from linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-8-generic don't work, like before.

I'll attach ready-to-use i386 modules (from git) for those who need them.

Is there something I can do to help debugging this?
Where is the linux-ubuntu-modules source coming from, and which Ubuntu changes have been applied, if any?

Among the difference between l-u-m git and upstream svn, I actually think this is the problem:

This is it! I applied the above patch and rebuilt l-u-m and it works. Please commit this patch soon, or sync with upstream.

Fantastic, thanks Tim!
Fixed in 2.6.22-10.25.
