Kernel spits out errors about hfa384x

[jag]

After booting up my Thinkpad T23 which has a "Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset" and not having the restricted drivers installed because they are oppressive to freedom, the kernel seems to lag the system for about five minutes then continues spitting out to kern.log the following two lines:

wlan0: hfa384x_cmd: cmd_queue_full
wlan0: hfa384x_get_rid: CMDCODE_ACCESS failed (res=-1, rid=fdc6, len=12)

It'd be nice if this didn't lag my system upon boot or continue filling my logs with these messages. Thanks!

Does this also happen with Ubuntu 7.10 RC?

Apologies for not being more specific. This was using the most recent Gutsy
snapshot as of the date of submission.

Is this a usb card? If not, you shouldn't install linux-wlan-ng, but use another driver that supports prism cards like orinoco or hostap.

This appears to be related to an Actiontec MiniPCI 802.11b card in the
Thinkpad.

 sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-wlan-ng
and see if it gets picked up by another driver on reboot.
