<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello, Everybody,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I met a strange problem in using hostap driver 0.4.9 for
Prism cards. After I inserted the card, the driver could recognize the card
and showed the general information after I ran "iwconfig wlan0". However, after
I ran "iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed", the essid became empty(""). After that,
whatever essid I assigned by running "iwconfig wlan0 essid essidname", the essid
was always empty. When I ran "iwlist wlan0 scan", I got the error message
"wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is
down". </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>The version of linux kernel is 2.6.11. I tried both Netgear
MA401 16-bit card and D-Link DWL650 16-bit card, and got the same error.
The detailed output is attached.</FONT></DIV>
