I upgraded my laptop from SuSE 7.3 to 8.0 a few days ago, and have not
been able to get my D-Link DWL-650 wireless LAN adapter to work since.

The card used to work fine on 7.3, where the wvlan_cs driver was used for
it.  On 8.0 the prism2_cs driver is loaded, the system beeps twice and
the card starts flashing in error/alert mode after the 2nd beep.

/var/log/messages has this:

Anyone know how to get this card to work on SuSE 8.0?
