Comment 2 for bug 96565

Test Platform
-----------------------------------------------------------
Access Point: Netgear FWG114P
Interface: Netgear MA401 Rev D (ver 2.5)
  No "RA" designation visible on card itself.
Laptop: IBM T23 (Type 2647)
Test Date: July 14-15, 2007

Method 1: Ubuntu 7.04 default install
   Community CD (SHA1 verified, media verified) installation

Method 2: Ubuntu 6.06LTS -> 6.10 -> 7.04, default install
   via Update Manager (no universe or multiverse packages)
          see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=486013

Method 1: As noted by the previous user, card does not work in WEP
mode using 128 bit encryption. I did not try using an open AP until
method "2". The card was present during installation. After 5 to 30
minutes, the computer keyboard becomes unresponsive, and programs
do not launch. System would not shutdown properly. Forcing the card
to exclude IRQ3, or IRQ 3 and 4, do not help, although the card does
start using different IRQs.

Method 2: 6.06LTS does not initially connect to the AP using WEP.
However, after first connecting with no encryption (an open AP),
MA401 connects to the AP with good signal strength, and no crashes
for over 8 hours. Switching the card and AP back to WEP, and rebooting
Ubuntu, results in normal operation.

Installing the distribution upgrades via Update Manager was slow (several
hours), however, the resulting 7.04 system seemed to install without
any errors.

As with 6.06LTS, 7.04 did not initially connect to the AP using WEP.
However, after first connecting with no encryption (an open AP),
MA401 connects to the AP with good signal strength, and again no crashes
for over 8 hours. Switching the card and AP back to WEP, and rebooting
Ubuntu, results in normal operation using 7.04.

Attached are the diff outputs of dpkg run on both systems.
Note the packages now are mostly different, so i'm not sure how much
this is going to help.
