Continuing the testing on the new DWL-520 PCI Cards...

12/18/03 CVS (SuSE 9.0 2.4.21-144 kernel): modprobe and insmod responses:

WhatEver:~ # modprobe hostap_pci no_primary=1

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

Off topic question: is there a differnce between modprobe and insmod ? 

Thanks all.
