Hi, I am trying to get a USB Linksys, Inc. WUSB12v1.1 802.11b which uses the Prism2 chipset to work on a debian system 2.4.27-2-386 using the hostap driver.
Running lsusb I get Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 066b:2213 Linksys, Inc. WUSB12v1.1 802.11b Adapter So I figure the hardware is at least being seen ls /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net hostap_crypt_ccmp.o hostap_crypt_tkip.o hostap_crypt_wep.o hostap.o hostap_pci.o hostap_plx.o This is my current lsmod, doing a modprobe hostap Adds hostap to the top of the list Module Size Used by Not tainted input 3040 0 (autoclean) apm 8428 1 (autoclean) aes 31488 1 (autoclean) airo_cs 3108 0 (unused) airo 38776 1 [airo_cs] ds 5844 4 [airo_cs] appletalk 17796 12 (autoclean) parport_pc 19432 1 (autoclean) lp 5540 0 (autoclean) parport 21608 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] af_packet 11048 2 (autoclean) ipt_REJECT 3160 1 (autoclean) ipt_MASQUERADE 1304 1 (autoclean) ipt_state 504 3 (autoclean) iptable_mangle 2040 0 (autoclean) (unused) iptable_nat 14766 1 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE] ip_conntrack 17000 0 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_state iptable_nat] iptable_filter 1644 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 10400 8 [ipt_REJECT ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_state iptable_mangle iptable_nat iptable_filter] usb-uhci 19504 0 (unused) usbcore 52268 1 [usb-uhci] maestro3 23152 1 ac97_codec 11252 0 [maestro3] soundcore 3268 2 [maestro3] ide-scsi 8272 0 sym53c8xx_2 58592 0 (unused) scsi_mod 86052 2 [ide-scsi sym53c8xx_2] 3c59x 23312 1 yenta_socket 8804 4 pcmcia_core 38020 0 [airo_cs ds yenta_socket] agpgart 39108 0 (unused) ide-cd 27072 0 cdrom 26212 0 [ide-cd] rtc 5768 0 (autoclean) ext3 65388 1 (autoclean) jbd 34628 1 (autoclean) [ext3] ide-detect 288 0 (autoclean) (unused) piix 7784 1 (autoclean) ide-disk 12448 2 (autoclean) cmd64x 6596 1 (autoclean) ide-core 91832 2 (autoclean) [ide-scsi ide-cd ide-detect piix ide-disk cmd64x] unix 12752 202 (autoclean) This is the part where I loose the plot, how do I associate the hostap with the hardware so that it is visable in an ifconfig -a so I can add an IP address and all the other good stuff. This is my current ifconfig, I have an Ethernet card wired connecting and a cisco pcmcia card 802.11b which both worked fine straight from the install. Been banging my head against this for a couple of weeks and I'm not getting anywhere. Appreciate any hints, ideas, solutions or good places to look or other fun commands I can mess with.
