Thank you very much.I blacklisted orinoco_cs now and binded hostap_cs driver in the /etc/pcmcia/config(where Linksys WPC11 was originally binded to orinoco_cs)<br>Now its automatically loading hostap_cs but the card is not detected and iwconfig says that wlan0 - no such device
<br>Moreover when I boot the system it prints the following<br><br>"hostap_cs device wlan0 does not seem to be present.Delaying initialization."<br><br>I am sure that Iam going wrong somewhere but could not find
it.Please do clarify.<br><br>Thank you.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 17, 2007 9:33 AM, Jouni Malinen <<a href="mailto:j@w1.fi">j@w1.fi</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

card. orinoco_cs does not support AP (Master) mode. If this is a PCMCIA<br>card, you would need to use hostap_cs, not hostap_pci.<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA
