Hostap Crash

[Nikolaos Kefalas]

I am running Redhat 9 with kernel 2.4.22 , 2.4.20-8 redhats default kernel .
A motherboard with 440BX chipset and a celeron 333 .
I tried the versions of hostap 0.04 , 0.11 , 0.12 .

My Card is an engenius .

Socket 0:
  product info: "INTERSIL", "HFA384x/IEEE", "Version 01.02", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)

And i am using a pci2pcmcia card :
00:0f.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 (rev 80)

I compiled hostap using make pccard and configured redhat scripts for it
DEVICE=wlan0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.143.2.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.224
GATEWAY=
TYPE=Wireless
USERCTL=no
NETWORK=10.143.2.0
BROADCAST=10.143.2.31
PEERDNS=no
ESSID=PWN_Pyrap
MODE=Master
CHANNEL=1
RATE=11Mb/s

I configured it for AP mode .

After a while the clients get disconected and when i am try to pass a 
command with iwconfig it does not respone
wlan0: hfa384x_cmd: entry still in list? (entry=c1faece0, type=0, res=0)
wlan0: hfa384x_cmd: command was not completed (res=0, entry=c1faece0, 
type=0, cmd=0x0002, param0=0x0000, EVSTAT=0000                 INTEN=e09f)
wlan0: reset port failed to disable port

or the errors

iwconfig wlan0 essid PWN_pyrap
