That message is misleading, hostap_crypt_wep.o reference is leftover from dark times ;-). It complains about arc4, kernel-module-arc4 is being built for h2200, and should be in the feed. The reason it's not installed in the image is that h2200 doesn't have *builtin* WiFi, so some people will never use WiFi at all, and burdening image with WiFi stuff for everyone is not a good thing (at least that's Angstrom idea so far - to provide with the image only support for builtin hardware, anything else is ipkg away). > I've never seen a message like this before, and I've been using > prism2 cards with hostap in various machines for quite awhile.
