Could not get own MAC address ( hfa384x_get_rid failed )

[ANOOP P]

Hi,

I installed the latest cvs version (following the link from
http://hostap.epitest.fi) of the hostap driver on my arm based board using
intel chip IXP425. This board has a TI PCI1520 PCI-PCMCIA controller.
Currently the socket driver is yenta_socket.

When i inserted the prism2 based 16 bit pc-card, drivers hostap_cs,
hostap_crypt and hostap_crypt_wep were loaded but I am getting the MAC
address all zeros 00:00:00:00:00:00

While looking at the logs, it is seen that:

wlan0: could not get own MAC address
wlan0: Channel list read failed

While looking into the code, it is seen that hfa384x_get_rid failed twice
while getting the MAC address. The complete log is attached below.

BTW, I am able to run ifconfig wlan0 and set the ip address.
but the Hwaddr is seen as 00:00:00:00:00:00. No association is taking place
with any of the stations.

The debug output is given below (I have put some debug prints in ds_ioctl
function also)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this in someway trelated to the soket driver (yenta_socket)? Do I need to
try with i82365?

I have seen related errors on the list and web, but no answers.

please help.

TIA
