Hostap on FC2

[Al Smolkin]

Need help getting hostap to work with NEAT (RedHat GUI network config tool).

Right now window manager freezes upon trying to select Mode.

Here's the output of iwconfig immed after service pcmcia restart

eth0      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"test"

It's a kernel 2.6.8-1.521
The card is SMC 2532W-B EliteConnect, and yes, I've listed it in hostap_cs.conf with manfid and bind.


Thanks to all
