I'm reposting this from the berlios at76c503a-user mailing list as I
suspect it might not be an issue with the driver. Apologies for the long
post, but I'm not entirely sure how much information to provide. Also
apologies for the line lengths.
I'm using the Berlios at76c503-rfmd driver with a Belkin F5D6050u
(0xd5c/0xa002) on SUSE9.0. I've configured the interface with YaST which
created a file called ifcfg-wlan-usb. My system is a Gateway `Fedora`
m/board with a Pentium III 933MHz processor and 515MBytes RAM. I use the
uhci USB driver having experienced system lock-ups with usb-uhci.
I've applied the latest SUSU kernel patch via YOU, and upgraded from the
supplied version 0.10 to the latest stable 0.11 which compiled and
installed with no errors, but still no improvement.
When I start my PC from cold, the WLAN interface fails to be started, and
my PC is networkless. As it doubles as a file/print server for the family
laptop, this is not optimal.
A typical output from /var/log/messages at a failure follows
========================================

=========================================
Unsurprisingly the none of the Atmel drivers are loaded, and usbview doesn't
see the device at all.
If I immediately reboot the PC, either cold or warm, /var/log/messages
looks like this:

In spite of the errors, I am rewarded with a fully configured wlan0
interface, as desired.
This morning, I booted from cold with the adaptor disconnected. When I
plugged it in , it worked immediately.

==================================================
I don't know where to look next, and I'm not 100% certain whether it is a fault
with my USB controller, SUSE's kernel or a problem with the USB device
itself. I'm hoping someone has run into this before and can suggest a
solution.
Thanks in advance
