Thank you - that worked!
The card firmware image was in /etc/pcmcia rather than /etc/hostap,
and I get a slew of error messages from ifdown and ifup that I will
attempt to track down (I'll post them here once I get a mail client
running on the Z), but it does obtain a lease from the AP.
Your configuration is quite different from the one I extracted from
various documents.... can you point me to where you found the docs
for this?
Once I get this ironed out I will be glad to write up something for
the wiki - but I don't know how to get a user ID to do that!
