Linksys WPC11 freezes laptop

[Kai Haberzettl]

I'm trying to get a Linksys WPC11 Ver.3 to run with A Toshiba Satellite
220CS on 4.8-STABLE.

The card is detected correctly:

Apr 21 11:59:25 arthur /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1
Apr 21 11:59:31 arthur pccardd[51]: Card "The Linksys Group, Inc."("Instant Wireless Network PC Card") [ISL37300P] [RevA] matched "The Linksys Group, Inc." ("Instant Wireless Network PC Card") [(null)] [(null)]

Apr 21 11:59:36 arthur pccardd[51]: wi0: The Linksys
Group,Inc. (Instant Wireless Network PC Card) inserted.

A few seconds after inserting the card, the system freezes
completely, requiring a reset. No messages in the log after reboot.

If I boot with the card inserted, the Laptop will hang during boot
shortly after the card is detected.

Anything further I can check to help find the cause?

Thanks,
Kai
