<P>Gentle folks,</P>
<P>I am using a Netgear card and Dlink DWL 650 ( separately) and they were
tested to work perfectly well on a Fujitsu laptop</P>
<P>Then this Netgear MA401 was tested on a Twinhead laptop to set up
a HostAP.</P>
<P>However, the wlan0 device can never be found and hostap failed to work. Dlink
also faces the same problem.</P>
<P>Based on the error captured from dmesg, I guess there is some hardware
conflict when HostAP driver tries to access an IRQ which is being used by other
hardware component. </P>
<P>Any ideas or solutions are highly appreciated.</P>
<P>Thank you </P>
<P>Patrick Tran</P>
