Hi,

finally got the card working under kernel 2.6.0-test11, except that I
cannot seem to connect to my AP. I also do not exactly know how to set
up the network with the card. The first thing I do is load the module,
after that a ifconfig eth1 up and then I'm stuck. I could do a
iwconfig eth1 essid ESSID_OF_AP and he sets the MAC Address of the AP.
But the problem seems to be the setting of the encryption. Under a
stable 2.4.23 Kernel I cannot set the encryption and with the
2.6.0-test11 I can set it but after that I cannot get a ip from the AP
via dhclient eth1...

I also would like to have that card work under a 2.4.23 Kernel as
there are some problems with the 2.6.0-test11...

If you need more info, please ask.

BTW: I'm using the kernel patch from Dec 04.

Andreas
