I have a stable debian release with a 2.4.18 kernel. I have compiled kernel 
without pcmcia support, bat with Wireless LAN support (just Wireless LAN 
support, none of the drivers under that option).
I have instaled pcmcia-source, and I have build with make-pkpg a particular 
kernel and pcmcia-cs packages.
My wireless card is Engenius NL-2511CDPlus ext2, people say that is same 
card that Senao SL-2511CDPLUS.
This card is on a pci slot with a Carbus Ricoh RL5C475. 

I have download hostap-0.0.4.tar.gz. I have read README and FAQ files. 

After read README file I execute: 

make plx, and I get following: 


make plx

On the FAQ file you can read 

What is causing 'Unresolved symbols' in depmod/modprobe? 

This not my problem since I configure, compile and install the kernel
my self (with debian make-kpkg utility). 


On the README file in Installation and Configuration section you read : 

If you are using hostap_plx.o version, prism2_plx_known_manfids table
in driver/modules/hostap_plx.c needs to have an entry for the PC Card
you are using. 

I added the line:
{ 0x0156, 0x0002 } /* Senao SL-2511CDPLUS */,
to prism2_plx_known_manfids on hostap_plx.c file. 

Could somebody help me to compile hostap successfully. 

Thanks in advance.
