I have Mandrake 9.0 installed on my laptop, kernels 2.4.19 and 2.4.21 (the 9.1 
release candidate kernel), and neither works in combination with hostap cvs 
and my prism2-based Zoomair pcmcia card.  

Under Mandrake 8.3, kernel-2.4.18, I had it working.  No hardware has changed. 
Iwconfig doesn't work - trying to set anything on the card produces errors:

# iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
  SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

Sorry?  I have the latest wireless tools for my system, the latest kernel.  I 
just built (4 days ago) the cvs version of hostap so it is essentially 
up-to-date.  They should ALL be talking the same 
wireless-tools/wireless-extensions language but they don't appear to.

What I get whenever the card is inserted is this in my syslogs:

What is the deal?  What is this?
