Yes, as I said you need to handle your adaptor like a PCMIA slot and thus
you need the pcmcia drivers. There are 2 options: the kernel version or
the separate package. the pcmcia_cs package can be found on
sourceforge.org. The other option is to enable the PCMCIA option in your
kernel and install this new kernel.

If you whish to get the most out of hostap you might want to read
http://www.trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/hostap_20021012.shtml. There's a
list of the upgrades you need if you would like to upgrade to the latest
wireless tools and wireless extentions.

Hope this helps,

Peter
