Michael, Well, actually by "slot" I meant not the PCMCIA slot, but the antenna connector on the card itself. If you remove the small antenna, you will set that the card itself has two connectors. :)
What version of firmware do you have on your Zcomax card? It is XI-325H model I assume. Some of the firmwares are known not to work. The firmwares known to reliably work are 0.8.3, 1.3.6 and 1.4.9. You can see the firmware version either on the back of the card or look at the messages reported by the HostAP driver in system log. I'm following HostAP development but so far CVS has been unstable. Currently WISP-Dist uses the last public snapshot release from 2002-05-19 plus a few bugfixes. As soon as a stable release is made I will upgrade the driver to use the newer version. We run WISP-Dist on about 30 routers here and I can assure you that the 2002-05-19 HostAP driver has been very stable so far. Michael Shuler wrote: > Thank you for the reply.
