<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I modifed the config and the hostap_cs.conf file
with my card info</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>card "Lucent Technologies". "WaveLAN/IEEE" ,
"Version 01.01", ""</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>manfid: 0X0156, 0X0002</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>bind "hostap_cs"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But the interface waln0 never shows up in
iwconfig.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did the following.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Built the kernel:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - copied /boot/config to
/usr/src/linux/.config.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - make
old_config</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - make
bzImage</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - make
modules</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - mkinitrd </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - make
modules_install</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - copied image to
/boot</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - modified
