hfa384x_usbctlx_complete_sync error (race condition?)

[Tormod Volden]

Hi,
If I plug in my card after having booted up, I get these
prism2sta_getcardinfo failures. I have to unplug and replug 5-10 times
before it finally works. If the card is plugged in at boot, there is
usually no problem.

I think I have seen errors like this for many years, but since the
last year or two it has become worse and worse.

Currently I am using 2.6.22 (Ubuntu 7.10 or Debian sid) with
linux-wlan-ng 0.2.8 +svn1832 or +svn1839.

I have heard other Ubuntu and Debian users have the same problem. Is
this a known bug and is there any chance it can be fixed?

Best regards,
Tormod
