<div><SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>I'm trying to get my DWL-520 E1 card (prism 2.5, no onboard firmware) working under Linux. Since this kernel version (2.4.33.3) doesn't come with hostap I'm using hostap-driver 0.4.9 and utils 0.4.7. But it doesn't seem to be working right.</div>

<div>In /etc/firmware I've got pm010102.hex, rf010800.hex and rf010804.hex. (The third one I'd initially used because the Latest-Prism package didn't include the 800.hex file. Same error though.) As far as I can tell the mentioned define is set in the hostap_config.h file.</div>

<div>Not trying to do an access point, use WPA, or anything fancy like that. I just want to get the wireless card working.</div>
