Helo,

I have successfully installed and have gone through the process 'make 
plx' and 'make install_plx' and did not encountered in any problem at 
all. I'm trying to make my pc as an hostap and trying to install the 
Host AP driver to work with a Zcomax Xl-325H card.

Installing the driver is fine...

root_at_localhost:/home/jarmie/hostap-0.0.1# make plx

Run 'make install_pccard' as a root to install hostap_cs.o
Run 'make install_plx' as a root to install hostap_plx.o
Run 'make install_pci' as a root to install hostap_pci.o



 root_at_localhost:/home/jarmie/hostap-0.0.1# make install_plx

Installing hostap_crypt*.o to /lib/modules/2.4.20Anakin.21apr03/net

cp -f driver/modules/hostap_crypt*.o /lib/modules/2.4.20Anakin.21apr03/net
Installing hostap.o to /lib/modules/2.4.20Anakin.21apr03/net

cp -f driver/modules/hostap_plx.o /lib/modules/2.4.20Anakin.21apr03/net
/sbin/depmod -ae


....up to this point: when I have to do "modprobe hostap_plx". This is 
what happens:

root_at_localhost:/home/jarmie/hostap-0.0.1# modprobe hostap_plx

/lib/modules/2.4.20Anakin.21apr03/net/hostap_plx.o: init_module: No such 
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including inva
lid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.20Anakin.21apr03/net/hostap_plx.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.20An
akin.21apr03/net/hostap_plx.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20Anakin.21apr03/net/hostap_plx.o: insmod hostap_plx failed

 
After checking the var/log/messages there was a statement saying this:

Apr 22 08:23:40 localhost kernel: hostap_plx: 0.0.1 - 2003-04-05 (Jouni 
Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>)

Does anyone have suggestions? It would be a great pleasure hearing your 
suggestions and help.
