Installing HOSTAP on Fedora Core 6

[Archana Rajagopal]

Thank you very much.I blacklisted orinoco_cs now and binded hostap_cs driver
in the /etc/pcmcia/config(where Linksys WPC11 was originally binded to
orinoco_cs)
Now its automatically loading hostap_cs but the card is not detected and
iwconfig says that wlan0 - no such device
Moreover when I boot the system it prints the following

"hostap_cs device wlan0 does not seem to be present.Delayinginitialization."

I am sure that Iam going wrong somewhere but could not find it.Please do
clarify.

Thank you.
