prism54: Out of memory, cannot handle oid, card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy

[Tomasz Chmielewski <mangoo@wpkg.org>]

I just wanted to use a mini-PCI card using a prism54 module - however, 
it fails to bring the interface up with "Out of memory, cannot handle 
oid" and "Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy" messages.

I used the card in an ASUS WL-500gP router (mipsel).


Any ideas what it might be?

I used 2.6.23.1 kernel, below full data.
