prism2_plx module problem

hi.
i just upgraded to kernel 2.6.0 and i installed linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre16.
i used the standard plx procedure as described in the README (which worked
in kernel 2.4.22). however, with kernel 2.6, after a while i get:
--------------------------
p80211knetdev_hard_start_xmit: Tx attempt prior to association, frame dropped.
p80211knetdev_hard_start_xmit: Tx attempt prior to association, frame dropped.
linkstatus=CONNECTED
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
linkstatus=AP_OUTOFRANGE (unhandled)
linkstatus=AP_INRANGE (unhandled)
hfa384x_copy_to_bap4: copy_to_bap() failed.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out
hfa384x_tx_timeout: Implement me.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out
hfa384x_tx_timeout: Implement me.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: wlan0: transmit timed out
hfa384x_tx_timeout: Implement me.
--------------------------
at this point i have to rmmod prism2_plx and reload it again.
does anybody know how to fix this? i think that the prism2_bap_timeout
parameter to the prism2_plx module may have something to do with it. i
searched online but im not sure which arguments to pass to that parameter.
thank's.

Have you allocated an IP address to your card ? for example : ifconfig
wlan0 up 10.0.0.1

Hope that helps you.

oh yea, i am on USENET right now with the card. everything works fine for
about 15 minutes until i get those errors and have to rmmod and modprobe
the card and re-apply the settings with ifconfig (by running
/etc/rc.d/rc.local)

shellcode@ph33r:~$ cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Local system initialization script.
#
# Put any local setup commands in here:
modprobe prism2_plx
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=Wireless authtype=opensystem
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.7 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1

like i said, everything is great until those errors come up.

Did your card work fine in kernel 2.4.22 ?

Just curious if you ever found out a solution to this one. I just
bought d-link today and I'm having the exact problem
