I can confirm that happen from time to time with my Sony VAIO picturebook
C1XD and a Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE board.

unloading the whole pcmcia subsystem (incl. yenta_socket) and re-loading
everything helps.

What is your card's firmware version ? (displayed by the driver during
boot). You may want to go to MacOS, upgrade to Apple's latest airport
software, and back to linux. This will upgrade your card's firmware to
the latest version provided by Apple, which might help.

erm, as I said, I have a Lucent card and a x86 box.  There is no MacOS
and I don't want to write an AirPort firmware to the Lucent card.

Oops, sorry about that. Well, what is your firmware version anyway ?

I know some have problems, and it may be wise to update using
Lucent x86 based updaters. (Or maybe it's a too-new firmware you
are running). You should really ask Jean Tourrihles or Daniel
Gibson as they know much more about these issues.
