modprobe fails

Thu May 15 04:02:11 PDT 2003

Hello all,
I finally got my Engenius card EL-2511CD PLUS (which is reported to use 
the Prism2.5 chipset) and a Ricoh PCI-PCMCIA bridge. Compiling and 
installing of hostap-0.0.2 works like a charm, but modprobe fails. The 
Kernel I use is 2.4.18 without Wireless Hamradio.
You might need the output of modprobe, lspci -vv and dmesg, it is 
included at the end.
Do you have any hints where my mistake is hidden? Do I actually have to 
use hostap_plx for Ricoh bridges?

Thank you very much, it would be very nice if you could help me.

Thomas
