Hi All,

I am trying to install HostAP on Redhat Enterprise ver. 3. MY PC card is a 
Netgear NL-2511 CD PLUS EXT2 with INtersil Prism 2.5 chipset.

After compiling and installing the driver, when I do modprobe I get the 
following errors:

[root at localhost hostap-driver-0.4.7]# modprobe hostap_pci
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.ELcustom-Apr-2006-2/net/hostap_pci.o: init_module: 
No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
       You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.ELcustom-Apr-2006-2/net/hostap_pci.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.ELcustom-Apr-2006-2/net/hostap_pci.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.ELcustom-Apr-2006-2/net/hostap_pci.o: insmod 
hostap_pci failed


the output from dmesg is:

hostap_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
hostap_pci: 0.4.7 - 2005-11-20 (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>)
hostap_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
hostap_crypt: unregistered algorithm 'NULL' (deinit)
hostap_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
hostap_pci: 0.4.7 - 2005-11-20 (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>)
hostap_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
hostap_crypt: unregistered algorithm 'NULL' (deinit)

Does anyone have any clue what could be wrong?

Thanks
Sharad.
