Hi,

I have seen a lot of messages about wireless cards working and not working 
with hostap.

I have a SMC2602 which is a SMC2632 in a PCI card. Works fine. When I setup 
hostap without WEP and use netgraph bridging it works, but is not very 
stable. I'm getting timeout messages and then the connection stops.

When I define WEP, my laptop (running W2K) is not able to setup a connection. 
The firmware of the laptop SMC2632 card is the same.

However WEP in adhoc mode works fine. This applies for both 40 and 128 bit.

I am running FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE-p2 Below the dmesg output.

I was told the same firmware for DLink and netgear can be used for the SMC 
cards too. Does somebody have hostap working with WEP and a card with the 
same firmware?

Thx,

Peter
