I am not Jari Aalto, but I have the same problem and the Arch installation right beside me.

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 > If it still doesn't work after that, you really should try to provide some > more info. 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.
