Use "cardctl ident" to get the name of your card, then check the hostap_cs.conf and config files in /etc/pcmcia to make sure the right driver is being bound to your card. You may have to comment out a binding to "orinoco_cs", or add one to "hostap_cs", to get it to work. You need to do "/etc/init.d/pcmcia reload" to get the cardmgr to see the new card bindings, and maybe "cardctl eject ; cardctl insert" as well. Hope this helps. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
