One last bit of wisdom to impart: sometimes you have to reset the device. Do this by turning the wireless off-and-on twice quickly in succession. Hopefully the firmware will "catch"
I don't know anything about ndiswrapper

Read the docs for linux-wlan-ng, and I can't get past this command:
| Code: |
root@hashbrown-lappy /etc/conf.d # wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
message=lnxreq_ifstate
ifstate=enable
resultcode=implementation_failure
|
Which is pretty much the first thing that they tell you to do in the docs...damn it. |

Nope, no luck with that. Also, here is my dmesg output after trying the wlanctl-ng command:
| Code: |
hfa384x_usbctlx_complete_sync: CTLX[1] error: state(Request failed)
hfa384x_drvr_start: cmd_initialize() failed, result=-5
prism2sta_ifstate: hfa384x_drvr_start() failed,result=-5
|
Curse the gods of hardware...thanks for all your help Hypnos, perhaps some day I will get this working! |

Try it out in Windows, then warm reboot back into Linux and see if it works.
Another thing to try: while you're in Linux, remove and reattached the device. Disconnecting it from the USB hub with Fn+F2 is not the same as doing a cold reset.

| Not dual booting on this lappy, so no Windows option. Tried disconnecting it with same results. |

Or just a regular PCMCIA card...I hear those are a lot easier to configure  . |

Run the lsusb with -v to get more data:

Huh, when I build from CVS it includes the firmware automatically in the kernel modules.
