Hi Peter, I have a similar setup, tho my card is a Belkin (which is supposed to be a rebadged SMC) and had a similar problem. My dmesg: wi0: <PRISM2STA WaveLAN> port 0xff00-0xff3f,0xf880-0xf8ff mem 0xffbef000-0xffbeffff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:30:bd:60:22:c5 wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163 rev.A wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 0.03.00, Station 0.08.03 which looks identical to yours. How did you attempt to configure hostap mode? I was NOT successful with hostap AT ALL until I did "ifconfig wi0 mediaopt hostap" (contrasted w/"wicontrol -i wi0 -p 1" and -c 1) and then insured the network names matched - although I could run "ad- hoc" with "wicontrol -i wi0 -p 3". I didn't really try WEP until i got hostap up, however, once i used mediaopt hostap WEP seems to work as well. I think the man's are lagging behind the code. i am running 4.6 of a few weeks ago. hope this is helpful, ymmv. -steve On 17 Jul 2002 at 22:15, Peter J.
