I have a problem configuring D-Link DWL520 card with hostap
1) fragmentation patameter does not change:
# iwconfig wlan0 frag fixed
# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-b ESSID:"test" Nickname:"red1"
Mode:Master Frequency:2.422GHz Access Point: 00:05:5D:FA:16:35
> Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=-13 dBm Sensitivity=1/3
> Retry limit:15 RTS thr=200 B Fragment thr:off
>
> # iwconfig wlan0 frag 512
> # iwconfig wlan0

> Mode:Master Frequency:2.422GHz Access Point: 00:05:5D:FA:16:35
> Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=-13 dBm Sensitivity=1/3
> Retry limit:15 RTS thr=200 B Fragment thr:off

2) does the card supports power timeout and period at the same time?
I know that most cards don't...
3) Setting of power management timeout - the value being displayed is different from the value that was set (is there a limit of some sort?)
