Yesterday I had my netgear MA401 perfectly working in ap-mode
(hostap_cs) under Linux 2.4.18 in an Texas Instruments TI1440
PCI/Cardbus bridge.

But after about an hour it stopped working an won't initialize anymore:

I even can't get it to work on Win98 in my notebook, where it used to work flawlessly and on another linux-machine using wlan-ng too.

Help much apprechiated
