at76_usb driver for WUSB11 v.26 wireless adapter doesn't work for kernels newer than 2.6.24.3-12.fc8
There is a bug report for this here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438606
Essentially, this driver used to work, but no longer does. The driver doesn't seem to be able to communicate signal level and link quality.
If someone needs me to test a fix for this, or to try test loads I'm willing to help.
regards,

It's a known problem. There are some patches by Milan Plzik in [email protected] that may help, but they need to be reviewed and tested.

Thanks Pavel,
I installed Milan's patches (all 8 of them) and it's still broken. I realize that it's nice to have smaller patches for code reviews, but for testing it would be a lot easier to have one giant patch.
I'm fairly certain I did the compilation and installation correctly as I see /lib/modules/2.6.24.5-85.fc8/updates/drivers/net/wireless/at76_usb.ko with today's date.
Is there anyway to get the driver to log messages as it's running? I noticed that "printk" is used a lot. Where would those messages go?
regards,
Fred Odendaal

Actually, it would be great to have them in some git repository for wide testing. But I want to take a look at the patches first.

They go to the kernel log, which is shown by the dmesg command.
