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?
