Hello,

I have the dwl-520e pci card, (Debian SID w/ 2.4.25 kernel) and read that the hostap driver should work but I can't even get the driver built correctly! :)
I did read this howto http://home.columbus.rr.com/andrewbarr/dwl520e1.html#modules and all went as written 
(except for these typos) 
PRI=/etc/firmware/PM010102.HEX
STA=/etc/firmware/RF010800.HEX

SHOULD read

PRI=/etc/firmware/pm010102.hex
STA=/etc/firmware/rf010800.hex

anyway.....
modprobe hostap
modprobe hostap_pci
modprobe hostap_crypt_wep
hostap_fw_load wlan0

srec summary for pm010102.hex
Included file name: PM010102.HEX
Component: 0x0015 1.1.2 (primary firmware)

Verifying update compatibility and combining data:
Plugging PDR 0400 (NIC configuration): ram16=1 pci=1 (07 00)
OK.

Downloading to volatile memory (RAM).
OK.
srec summary for pm010102.hex
Included file name: PM010102.HEX
Component: 0x0015 1.1.2 (primary firmware)

ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No data available
STAID not available (maybe running PRI-only)
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No data available
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No data available
Could not read wlan PDA. This requires PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT definition in
driver/module/hostap_config.h.

OK no problem I do rmmod and make clean and uncomment 

define PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT

but make fails:
hostap_config.h:48: error: parse error before "PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT"

I tried repeatedly uncommenting all instances of PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT and then one at a time and other combinations but still same problem.  At the risk of sounding ignorant, I've never seen a file like hostap_config.h  Which one (or two or whatever) of those am I supposed to uncomment?  

TIA
