I am not Jari Aalto, but I have the same problem and the Arch

orinoco_cs is loaded, just as orinoco and hermes.

Here is the next problem. Wether I put hostap and hostap_cd 
into MOD_BLACKLIST:

MOD_BLACKLIST=(hostap hostap_cs)

or put them !-ed into MODULES:

MODULES=(!hostap !hostap_cs ...)

both were loaded at startup.

The output of "lsmod | grep hostap" ist the following:

hostap_cs               61592  1
hostap                 117892  1 hostap_cs
ieee80211_crypt          5120  1 hostap
pcmcia                  33708  2 orinoco_cs,hostap_cs

The wireless card is a Dell True Mobile 1150 with a Orinoco chipset.
Although it's a miniPCI Card, Linux detects it as pcmcia.
Lucky for me because the IBM R40 has a BIOS whitelist.

iwconfig lists two WLAN interfaces (wifi0 and wlan0), but none of
them is working. 

The network entry in rc.conf sounds as follows:

eth0="eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth1="eth1 dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)

eth0 is a onboard LAN interace with is working correctly.


Hopefully this will help to solve the problem. Maybe the work ist done,
when hostap can be blocked to load.


With friendly greetings,
