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

I tried plugging in ten times as mentioned in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454684#30
and ended up hosing USB an needing to reboot, upon which I had to
modprobe prism2_usb manually. Anyways

I think you have reached the limit of my intellectual capacity.
All I know is I can do exact tests you tell me and send you the results.
