Comment 99 for bug 246141

About this driver we solved our problem using the below driver and changing the BIOS. Try the drive first. just ./makedrv and wlan0up should up your wireless. But if you are having a drop problem after the wireless adapter connected to AP then check your syslog: cat /var/log/syslog | grep "irqpoll"
If you see an explanation that suggests to use irqpoll. then add irqpoll parameter to kernel at boot time. Can be done either editing the grub menu boot time or from menu.lst. If it is working then a BIOS fix is required fir you also. But it doesn't harm you using in this way also.
