Interesting. My card uses the orinoco driver, so I tried it here and,
hmmm, the same thing happens.
It's getting late so I didn't try a lot of stuff to make it work, but
looking around I see that on my system I have a file:
/etc/discover-modprobe.conf
: where it indicates the lines to skip loading a driver should be
placed. I'm running unstable with discover 2.0.7-2.1, so something
could have changed.
If that fails I'm thinking (making a backup copy first) if you
edit /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/modules.pcimap and change the orinoco
entries to hostap entries then open a terminal window and type:
depmod -a
: and reboot that should do it.
Later, Seeker
