Knowing which of the many combination to play with helped to focus my efforts.

I tried this only shortly, but I am not so sure about this one. The hostap driver states that it is for "Prism 2/2.5/3 wlan cards". Isn't there a difference between this and prism54? >> root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 mode master >> root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 essid "SR20" >> root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 channel 6 >> root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 rate 11M >> root@funk [~] ifconfig wlan1 up > > Don't do any of that, hostapd configures everything. Ok, it does now. My problem turned out to be the "hw_mode=b" in the config file. When I use "hw_mode=g" instead, everything suddenly starts to work :-) Many thanks, Jochen -- http://seehuhn.de/
