Here's my card.. I have an Intel Thinkpad T30 with built in wireless.
I'm having difficulties. Sorry for the HTML email, but I thought the
colors helped. I started out without the

OK.

 

Downloading to non-volatile memory (flash).

Note! This can take about 30 seconds. Do _not_ remove card during
download.

Odd.. Download request for the kernel driver failed.

Are you sure you have compiled (and loaded the correct version of)

hostap.o module with PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT definition in

driver/module/hostap_config.h?

In addition, non-volatile download requires PRISM2_NON_VOLATILE_DOWNLOAD

to be defined.

ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_DOWNLOAD]: Operation not supported

 

Download failed!

 

So then I updated PRISM2_DOWNLOAD

I had hostap_utils 0.4.7 installed, checked my kernel driver and saw
that it was 0.4.4-kernel..

 

Downloaded the latest driver, compiled the module, and realize that I
didn't have PRISM2_NON_VOLATILE_DOWNLOAD enabled..

 

Now I can connect to WPA with Linux.. yippee..

 

* Starting wlan0

 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
[ ok ]

 *     wlan0 connected to "MOTTIE" at 00:12:17:29:C5:A6

 *   Bringing up wlan0

 *     dhcp

 *       Running dhcpcd ...
[ ok ]

 *       wlan0 received address

 

 

Thanks again :)

 

p.s as you can probably tell this email started out as a HELP request :)
