Re: HELP: Nightmare with WL200 (also: list down?)

Answering my own question, I feel pretty stupid about this one since it's in the list archives ;)

The solution is to use

    PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=1"

in /etc/defaults/pcmcia (Debian path). Now working like a charm. This is my only machine with a PCI-to-PCMCIA bridge so at least I learned something :)

BTW the list doesn't seem to be working for the past 2 days or so, I'm not getting any messages (even the ones I post).

Cheers,
jd
