Problem configuring hostap/iwconfig/iwpriv

[Paul Tan Hock Lai]

Hi all,

I am encounting problem running iwconfig on my orinoco card (redhat 7.3, 2.4.18). I have installed successfully the hostap_cs module and also upgrade my wireless tool to v25.

however, when i insert my card, the module (hostap_cs) gets loaded, but when failed to configure the beacon interval and basic rates.

Please advice and thank you in advance.

cheers,
Paul
