Hi,

There are still a few bugs to work out on my end with the card as it 
turns out.  Yesterday I restarted my machine,  wasn't able to get the 
card to load,  at one point I managed to change the NIC to 0x8000 when 
it should be 0x8024.  So I turned off the computer and pulled the power 
cable and took PCI card out and put it back in.  When I rebooted 
everything went well.  This morning I thought perhaps the problem was 
because I didn't unload the driver properly before shutting down?

This morning I unloaded hostap_pci rebooted...everything worked as 
expected until I tried to contact another computer...  None were 
reachable.  I rebooted my access point,  a D-link DI-713P,  and 
everything is now working again.  I attatched my dmesg from this 
morning's adventure.  Yesterday I didn't get this line:

SIOCGIWAPLIST is currently only supported in Host AP mode

which is suspicious as I am not using WAP and am using HostAp in 
managed mode.  Oh I just realized where that line was probably coming 
from:  I was using wavemon and went to the aplist screen.
