Description Eric Pretorious 2004-09-12 18:52:27 UTC
hostap_cs module is successfully loaded but does not associate with AP or configure wlan0 via DHCP. (orinoco_cs module successfully associates with AP and configures eth0 via DHCP.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge pcmica-cs
2. emerge wireless-tools
3. emerge hostap-driver
Actual Results:  
wlan0 interface is NOT configured via DHCP. 

Expected Results:  
wlan0 *should* be configured via DHCP. 

1. Emerge pcmcia-cs. 
2. Test NIC - NIC successfully associates with AP (on eth0) and requests IP via 
DHCP using orinoco_cs. 
3. Dmerge wireless-tools and hostap-driver. 
4. Retest NIC - NIC does NOT associate with AP and does NOT request IP. 
5. Verify that card was correctly detected and configured using cardctl info - NIC is 
correctly ID'd. 
6. Un'merge hostap-driver. 
7. Retest NIC - NIC successfully associates with AP (on eth0) and requests IP via 
DHCP using orinoco_cs.

Is you card listed as supported by hostap?

Which version of hostap-driver did you test with?
