Hi, 

the original message is 3 months old. Muhammad, have you solved the situation? 
Maybe it's a newbie issue, but  my homeland is OSI layer 3 and above; lower 
layers are a mystery for me ;((

I add some information.

**Running cardctl ident I get:

Socket 1:
product info: "Allied Telesyn", "AT-WCL452 Wireless PCMCIA Radio", "Ver. 
1.00", ""
manfid: 0xc00f, 0x0000
function: 6 (network)


**I edited /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf and /etc/pcmcia/config to add:

card "Allied Telesyn"
#version "Ver. 1.00", ""
manfid 0xc00f, 0x0000
bind "hostap_cs"


**but I get this on /var/log/messages:

Theres' only left to say that leaving all things unchanged, everything works OK 
with a Netgear MA401RA and with a Conceptronic C11C.


Thank you in advance.
