Thanks Pavel, appreciate your inputs

To update, I got this working on madwifi 0.9.4 official release/centos 5.0
(2.6.18 kernel version) with some minor tweaks to overcome compile issues
The AP mode worked like a charm with the same DLink card

I m good with this setup so I will continue with this combination.. thanks
once again

Regards
Vivek
