AP mode on a ZoomAir 4105....

Hi
I'm trying to set up a ZoomAir 4105 card just to simply work under Mandrake 8.1 linux: It's Prism 2 based, and works under Win98

I've installed the Prism2 package as instructed into a pcmcia-cs 3.1.30 tree and configured/made/installed it

In Ad-hoc I can get the driver to set the card such that a Win98 computer with another card can identify the linux BSSID. Also, it will not associate if the SSID is incorrect.

However, I cannot ping across the network

In AP mode, the card cannot be found by the win 98 computer

I enclose a section from my syslog with pcmcia going up (, plus some other error messages I've found

AP mode

this is repeated for each ping

Has anybody got any clues!!! I'll happily supply any other log data required, etc, if necessary
