Per this thread, http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2006-November/014530.html I have succeeded in solving the problem with my card. Apparently udev is fixed, but only for new rules. If an old incorrect rule for hostap_cs wlan0/wifi0 is still lingering from udev's broken phase, then the card/hostap_cs still looks broken to the casual user, and it is not apparent what needs to be done to fix it. I would suggest that some thought be given to handling these old broken rules, as I can vouch for the fact that I personally have spent quite a long time spinning my wheels on this issue.
If other people are like me, there may be a whole herd of folks out there who think there card is just broken for the current kernel, and are waiting for a new kernel to get back in business. With stale broken udev rules still haunting them, there wait will be quite a long one. Clayton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
