[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#583522: CTLX[1] error: state(Request failed)

[Tormod Volden]

As is also seen in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454684#25 this CTLX
failure is an old known problem. It has been tried worked around like
here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/staging/wlan-ng/hfa384x_usb.c;h=a41db5dc8c7c592a0f8c670495682ecb97def021;hb=HEAD#l2599

In your case this happens when the driver is preparing for firmware
loading and is sending a message to the card to go into firmware
loading mode. But just sending this message already fails. I guess you
get the same CTLX errors even without having any firmware to load?
Then sending the message to enter "enabled" mode will fail.
