"original" WDT11/WPC11 combo for an AP?

[linuxchuck]

Hello all.  This is my first post, so I'll keep it as short as possible.  At the risk of becoming flamebait for some post
I probably missed in my searching...  here's the problem:

I've done a bit of research through the archives and haven't seen a reference to my hardware, so I thought I'd ask
if there is anyone who has experience with it.

I am using the first release of the WPC11 seated in a WDT11 and have had a "partial" success getting it to work
as an AP with the Host_AP drivers.  I have a laptop in the house with the same WPC11 pc card in the pcmcia
slot.  I can get good association, and signal strength, but cannot send any data.  DHCP times out, and if I
statically assign an IP, I still cannot ping to or past the AP.  I have used the setup as  described at
http://trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/hostap_20021012.shtml to the letter.  I have two Ethernet connections, Eth0
is my internet connection, and Eth1 is my home network.  I used the bridging technique from the same page.

Here is the information from my ifconfig, iwconfig, and hostap_diag commands:

My initial suspicion is that perhaps the age/firmware version I am running might be the problem.  If that is the case,
from my readings, I could not find a set of firmware that was "known good" and I could use with my specific card.
If anyone has had any success with this particular setup, I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide.	Thanks in
advance...
