Hello there!
I'm using hostap-0.1.0 in a embedded board and everything is working fine. My
board has the peculiarity that the card won't be inserted or removed, it'll
always be plugged at the PCMCIA connector. I was wondering if I could get rid
of cardmgr, because I really don't need it, and not having cardmgr would same
some RAM and FLASH space.
So soon I found out that simply insmodding hostap_cs won create the wlan0
interface, even with a line like
alias wlan0 hostap_cs
In /etc/modules.conf. So I tried to patch my kernel and compile the hostap
driver into it. That didn't work either. Reading the code, I noticed that
hostap_cs need a card_insertion event, so the prism2_config function is
called to set up things. Is there a way to do this? Even if it means a little
hack in the driver? thanks a lot!
