hostap_cs.conf

Thu Feb 19 14:59:21 EST 2004

Ok,

I have updated the kernel to 2.4.18 and used HostAP 0.1.12.
When I use the HostAP driver I get a lot of errors in dmesg, the following
is the beginning of the errors in dmesg:

sa1100_pcmcia_init(0)
hostap_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
hostap_cs: 0.1.2 - 2003-11-02 (Jouni.....)
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
000000ec
pgd = c1e8c000
*pgd = c1e8b801, *pmd = c1e8b801, *pte = 00000000, *ppte = 00000000
Internal error: Oops: ffffffff
CPU: 0
pc : [<c5785b14>]      lr : [<c00da494>]   Not tainted

The whole dmesg output is at the end of this email.
It seems like hostap crashes the cardmgr for some reason.
Hope you can help us!

We also installed hostap 0.0.4 using the kernel 2.4.6 and everything
seemed to work. The only problem is that it would not connect to any AP
when in Managed mode and it would not work as AP in Master mode...we could
not see it when scanning.
We noticed that the WCF11 works fine if ANY is selected as essid and it
gives some problems if the essid is specified. Could this be the problem
(since hostAP does not support ANY as essid)? How could we fix this?

Thank you all very much,
Andrea
