Does your hostAP code work for the PCMCIA card 11Mb, DWL-650 rev K?

I found ref to DWL-650 working, but after installing, I found ref
to /etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf using rev D.

For my tests, I have been unable to get it to recognize a driver.
Here is what I have sone so far.

RH9 full install.
Recompiled kernel 2.4.20-19.9 without PCMCIA support.
Installed pcmcia-cs-3.2.4 .
	Updated /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
...
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
...

Installed hostap-0.0.4
	Ran "make pccard"

Copied /etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf to /etc/pcmcia/config
as it appears this is what cardmgr reads.

Restarted pcmcia services via /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart.

Messages I get in /var/log/messages when inserting card

Does this mean my card uses diff drivers.??

I noticed on D-Link's web site, they have drivers for WinXP and stress 
to NOT install the wrong DWL-650 driver rev. "D" vs. "K".  They say this
does not work and may possibly damage card inoperatable...

Anyone know what kind of chipset this card has?

TIA
