iwconfig trouble

[capacity77 at tin.it]

why can't I? the linux-wlan-ng is the driver for my wireless card, to use
hostap i have to use necessarily also a driver for the card.
I have a Compaq WL 100, I need the linux-wlan-ng driver. Or maybe is there
any other simpler driver for Prism2 cards as mine?
