Problem with 3Com wireless PC Card

[Dirk Markwardt]

Hello !

I've got a linux box running kernel 2.4.22, hostap 0.1.0 (also tried
CVS after 0.0.4) and a Netgear MA311 (Prism 2.5 with firmware 1.7.4).

This works perfectly with several wireless clients (one Orinoco Gold
Card, one Dlink 22 MBit running @ 11 MBit). Now I've got a 3Com 11
MBit Wireless PC Card (3CRSHPW796) and a Notebook running Win XP Pro.
All settings like SSID and encryption are correct but I don't get a
Link.

My Linux syslog says:

What does this mean ? How can I get this card running ? Any hints ?
