Belkin FD5 6001

[Craig Foster]

First of all, the hostap driver uses the wlan# interface names rather than 
eth#.  So the following should get you going:

modprobe hostap_pci
ifconfig wlan0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd up

Or the ewivalent in your distribution's netwrk configuation files.  You will 
of course want to set your mode, ssid, etc. with iwconfig as well just as you 
may have done before with the orinoco driver.
