Please use "reply all" to respond, and do not drop the linux-wireless ML. Unless
you want to make a deposit to my Paypal account, I do not do private debugging.
On my system running the mainline git kernel (git describe is
v3.0-rc5-124-g60451cb), I get the following for 'lspci -nnv' run as root:

The device is generating some warnings in the logs that I need to explore;
however, it is working.
I have no idea why your device is failing. Perhaps Chaoming will have some ideas
when he reads this.
