<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using the 2002-10-12 HostAP driver and i
have this random error :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In dmesg, HostAP says that "hfa384x_get_rid"
function (in driver/modules/hostap_hw.c) can't read some informations from the
PCI card. An "RID len mismatch" is displayed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sometimes i have problems only with NIC, others
with NIC & PRI, but often with MAC, causing a 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC Address
assigned to my wlan0 interface (a Dlink DWL-520 with Prism2.5 onboard) ... and
of course the wireless lan doesn't work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried to load / unload a lot of times the
hostap_pci module. Each time i get a different result (no NIC, non NIC+PRI, OK
(full datas read), or module not loaded at all ...)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Notice that the "iwconfig" command always return
the good MAC address.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why HostAp driver cannot read reliably these datas
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How to fix this bug.</FONT></DIV>
