Problems with hostap 0.2.6

[safletcher at insightbb.com]

 I am having problems getting hostap to work with my PCMCIA card (actually, 
it's a CF card in a PCMCIA adapter). 
 
When I insert the card, there are no messages in dmesg.  All I see is this: 
 
Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:02:06.1 [103c:088c] 
Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x00b8, PCI irq 10

Running lsmod shows not hostap files loaded either.  I know that I need to 
modify the hostap_cs.conf file, so I ran cardctl ident and received the 
following: 
 
  product info: "AmbiCom", "WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card", "2.2" 
  manfid: 0xd601, 0x0002 
  function: 6 (network) 
 
So, based on this information, I added the following to hostap_cs.conf: 
 
card "AmbiCom WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card" 
   manfid 0xd601, 0x0002 
   bind "hostap_cs" 
 
Finally, I commented out all other references to this manfid in hostap_cs.conf 
and /etc/pcmcia/conf. 
 
I even tried adding an alias for hostap_cs in modules.conf.  But, nothing I 
have done seems to get the card recognized.  I know that the card is Prism 
based and I have had it successfully working with wlan-ng.  But, I cannot seem 
to get hostap working. 
 
Here is some additional information that might be helpful: 
 
Mandrake 10.1 Official 
custom compiled kernel 2.6.8.1-12 
Wireless extensions installed and working (system also has an atheros card 
that is working fine with the madwifi drivers) 
 
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks,
