<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi List!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am desperately trying to get a LG LW1100P Board
Revision 2.0 PCI card to work with HostAP. It consists of a TI 1211
PCI-to-Cardbus Controller and a Prism2 chipset. I already have the PCMCIA part
working, so doing a "cardctl ident" shows a "LG", "11Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Card"
"Version 1.02" with manfid 0x0156, 0x0002.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I succeeded in compiling the hostap_cs driver and
the module loads without complaining. However, it doesnt create a wlan0
interface. The syslog only shows one line after inserting the module:
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"kernel: hostap_cs: 0.0.3 - 2003-05-18 (Jouni
Malinen <<A href="mailto:jkmailine@cc.hut.fi">jkmailine@cc.hut.fi</A>>)
The machine uses a self compiled kernel 2.4.18 from woody with WLAN extensions
turned on (so /proc/net/wireless is there) Trying to issue any iwXXXXX command
(for example "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed" results in "SET failed on device
WLAN0 ; No such device") results in an error. Up to now, i have not managed to
get any debugging information from hostap itself, "cardctl status"
shows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Socket 0</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> function 0: [ready] [bat
low]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The LED on the card lights as soon as i do
"/etc/init.d/pcmcia start". I am running out of ideas for that one. Install a
new kernel? I don't think so, because people from this mailing list have it
working on 2.4.9 kernels.... I also tried to compile my own set of PCMCIA-CS
modules (tried 3.1.33, 3.1.34, 3.2.4), then "cardctl ident" shows no card
available. Currently i am using "yenta_socket", which detects the
card.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope there is someone out there who can provide
some help, at least in how i can talk hostap_cs into verbosing
more....</FONT></DIV>
