Hi, Timur,

  Yan,

  I've had a similar issue and I had to reset the card to get it to work properly. You can do that with "iwpriv wlan0 reset 1". Try that. I hope it helps.

    Hello, Everybody,

    I met a strange problem in using hostap driver 0.4.9 for Prism cards. After I inserted the card, the driver could recognize the card and showed the general information after I ran "iwconfig wlan0". However, after I ran "iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed", the essid became empty(""). After that, whatever essid I assigned by running "iwconfig wlan0 essid essidname", the essid was always empty. When I ran "iwlist wlan0 scan", I got the error message "wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down". 

    The version of linux kernel is 2.6.11. I tried both Netgear MA401 16-bit card and D-Link DWL650 16-bit card, and got the same error. The detailed output is attached.

    Thanks a lot.
    YAN
