Hi Dave

I am assuming this may be a good question to ask from you. As usual i search 
a lot on internet and tried many different things on this *PC104* System 
with ISA->PCMCIA adapter.

I am using pcmcia-cs-3.2.7 package and hostap0.2.2. I am using "ds.o" and 
i82365.o from pcmcia-cs package.
--LInux 2.4.20-8(Redhat 9.0)
Starting "service pcmcia start" WITH NO CARD in the socket.
"demsg" shows me this:
Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.2.7
  kernel build: 2.4.20 #6 Fri Jul 30 11:06:57 MDT 2004
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [apm]
Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe:

    host opts [1]: [ring] [65/6/3] [1/15/3]
    ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,5,7,11 polling interval = 1000 ms

"lsmod"

OK!! The kernel message says that the bridge is detected.Good News!!
==============================
I tried to start the "service pcmcia restart" with SENAO NL2511Cd+ card in 
the socket  which is 3.3V card with HOSTAP drivers. IT gives me this
"dmesg"
Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe:

  Vcc mismatch - skipping this entry

prism2_config() failed

Hmmm..... well i noticed there is VCC mismatch.I  Tried loading it with

modprobe hostap
modprobe hostap_cs ignore_cis_vcc=1
demesg
"SYETEM JUST HANGS"

I tried the same thing with NEtgear Card which is 5.0v Card , same result.
=====================

But interestingly, when i load the "Compaq Wl110" card with orinoco_cs 
drivers it just works fine."eth1" interface comes up and all is fine.
I could not able to understand that why it isnot only working with HOSTAP 
drivers.

----------------------
I excluded all irq's from "config.opts" file in /etc/pcmcia/ directory and 
forced it to take IRQ 5. I did becoz it was giving me "spurious irq 7".

I don't know what else to try, i tried to load it with "yenta_socket" but it 
does not work with that, system hangs again.

=====================

Here is the lspci -vvx output just in case.

I do not understand why the *PC104* is working fine with orinoco_cs drivers 
and not with hostap. I guess somebody please guide me in the right 
direction.

Thanx,
