Subject: [patch] workaround zd1201 interference problem
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 16:00:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060607140045.GB1936@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)

zd1201 likes to start up shouting, interfering with all wifis in
range. It is capable of stopping ipw2200 up-to few meters away, and
stops other cards at smaller distances, too.

This works around it. Only forcing ZD1201_CMDCODE_DISABLE is not
enough to prevent interference.
