<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>
