You are quite correct that anything prism 2/2.5 and maybe 3 based will work, and I have quite easily got a WL200 Prism 2 card to work as an access point in my leaf machine.
Look at the Hostap archives, there is specifcally information on the DWL 520-Rev E card, I have seen it there. Partial success I believe but it was made to work. You will only get an 11b (11MB/s) network with hostap which for most of us is fine. Good luck here is the current mail list url http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/ Take a look, I think that there should be nothing to compile, just adjust as required and script up necessary changes, like parameters and settings etc. This is on Bering 1.2 not the uclibc version but as long as the modules load there should be no hassle, I saw some of the required packages when I browsed the ucLibC sourceforge page the other day. I will be upgrading to this version soon but not quite yet, sorry.

I'm afraid that I can't provide any info concerning those card manufacturers. I have learned, though, that most any card with a Prism2/3 chipset (anything "Intersil", for example) can be made to work. My knowledge is strictly 802.11b, though. Right now, I'm interested in the AP problem, and I'm trying to get Dlink's DWL-520revE.1 to work for this purpose. It should work with the HostAP drivers, which are explained pretty well here: http://home.columbus.rr.com/andrewbarr/dwl520e1.html ...even though the page is not really totally supported anymore. There is a HostAP mailing list at: http://sisyphus.iocaine.com/pipermail/hostap/ which is also useful. This HostAP driver, together with the wireless-tools package, seems to be the answer for Prism2 PCI cards. However, I'm a little stymied, since nothing seems to work out-of-the-box, and I'm a beginner at compilation/building binaries. I currently have a question over at the leaf-devel list for that purpose. Hope I've given you something to start with. ----- Hopefully someone else, then, can answer this question: is there a PCI 802.11b solution that seems to work with Bering-uClibc2.x as packaged? Perhaps with wlan-ng? Because I'm about at my wits' end on this one. Thanks. -joe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sergio D.
