Public bug reported: I have detailed my whole account of getting my card to work at:
http://sin613.blogspot.com/2007/02/i-win.html http://sin613.blogspot.com/2007/02/i-win-again.html The quick summary is that hostap_cs.c is missing the correct device IDs for this card, but has a similar ID labeled as being the correct card. I e-mailed Jouni Malinen (maintainer) regarding the problem and received the following response: On Mon, Feb 26, 2007 at 10:59:08PM -0600, Phil Barton wrote: > I'm not sure if you are the person I need to contact regarding this, but I > have found that hostap_cs.c needs a small change in order to work with the > D-Link DWL-650 Rev P1 PCMCIA card.

Thanks for reporting this. It looks like DWL-650 Rev P1 id was lost when Host AP driver was converted to use the new pcmcia mechanism for selecting the driver. I submitted the attached patch to add it back. It has been over a month now, and several kernel revisions later the support for this device is still broken. Perhaps Ubuntu could assist in setting things straight... Jouni also forwarded the patch that would fix this to me, which I can send to anyone who is interested. It's a rather simple fix. -Philip Barton ** Affects: hostap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Fix for DWL-650 Rev P1 (hostap_cs) https://launchpad.net/bugs/97172 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
