This is what I use on my Thinkpad T21A:
	ether0=type=wavelan port=0x180 irq=10 essid=Our-Net key2=Our-Long-Key

What type of card do you have (gold, silver), are you using it in managed
(with an access-point) or peer-to-peer mode, and are you using encryption.
We only use managed mode with encryption here so it's possible something fell
through the cracks.

Also, look at the w_timer routine in etherwavelan.c and you will see 4 lines
commented out after a long comment. I commented those lines out in an attempt
to find the root cause of the problem nemo was seeing when he wrote the driver,
but i could never get the problem to happen; I tried lots of gold and silver
cards, even very old ones. I'm intrested to know if anyone else sees that
problem so we can try to fix it; our old Wavelan driver didn't need any such
fix. We can make it an option if it proves to be card-specific.
