Hi Mike,
You got the hostap driver from http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/ right?
It compiled and installed, yes?
After installing hostap_cs you have to edit a file in /etc/pcmcia.
Do a "cardctl ident" to get the manufacturer ID of the card, mine is:
manfid: 0xd601, 0x0005
And the file I had to edit was /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf (because I have
wlan-ng from http://www.linux-wlan.org/ but yours may be a different .conf file,
dig around).
Restart pcmcia services with /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart.
Insert the card. You should see "hostap_cs" when you do lsmod.
>From there you do, "iwconfig wlan0 mode master"
Are you in the Excelsior district? I can bike over and take a look if you want.
Or drop it off at my office, you have the address.
Let me know.
Barry
