Hi Everyone,
I am fairly new to HostAp so please don't mind if my problems are trivial.
I have downloaded the HostAp kernel rpm
kernel-2.4.20-13.9.HOSTAP.i686.rpm
<http://www.cat.pdx.edu/%7Ebaera/redhat_hostap/kernel-2.4.20-13.9.HOSTAP.i686.rpm>
from http://www.cat.pdx.edu/~baera/redhat_hostap/
But when I try to bring up my wireless interface, it cannot be brought
up. As soon as I revert to my old setting of connecting to the wirelss
router, it work perfectly fine. Could some body please tell me how do I
start the HostAp mode.
Also when I do "lspci" I get the following output.
Network controller: Harris Semiconductor Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
But I guess this entry is not found on the hostap_cs.conf file given on
the webpage. Can someone tell me how do I modify the file and put in an
entry for this wireless card.
PS - I tried installing the linux driver after downlaodig src files for
my old kernel but there were some inconsistencies and make woudl not
work fine. Hence I used the this HostAP kernel.
Thanks,
Manish
