arlan-patch

[linuxnet@amazing.ch (Christoph Dworzak)]

Hi

In order to use my Arlan655-card, I had to patch the arlan-driver
in 2.2.7-ac1 (other 2.2.x-kernels seem to have the same problem, but
I didn't test them).

I don't know if the error-message is misleading, but if it's only
a problem to set these parameters on multiple cards, then the test
was incomplete.

I'm not shure if this is the right fix. It works for me... :)

Bye
