I replied to the PR twice but my mail never went through (?!?).
Then I contacted directly Damien and Jean-Baptiste, and I am regularly
in contact with Jean-Baptiste.

What I observe is:
- while scanning the card sometimes gets on a channel but loses it
instantly;
- as soon as I enter any command the firmware crashes;
- sometimes the card keeps my command after down/up'ing it and then I
can stay on a network;
- when associated to a network (and I tried no WEP or WPA) after a
random amount of time the firmware crashes again (it is not related to
the traffic I generate).

I am running 3.99.23 with GENERIC.MPACPI, but GENERIC also crashes just
the same way.

I want to see it there too anyway, so that more people can test it, and
for some (most?) actually use it.

The weird thing is I have a Lenovo T60 and the card works fine with
Windows, and my friends running NetBSD on a similar machine have no
problem using it.
