Can you give me model numbers for the minipci one?  I have a laptop with
a card in the minipci slot which isn't supported and not helping me

pick one up. :)

I don't remember honestly, it was a couple of weeks ago, but I do know
that if you used gdb and changed the timing it seemed to work much of
the time.

You could blacklist it as a temporary measure... just return FALSE in
net_class_accept() if it's "ath0" or some such.

I'm not sure those two messages are related, but they could be.
