Hi

I'm trying tu use a NETGEAR M401 Wireless Card in AP mode. I'm running a Mandrake with kernel 2.4.17, pcmcia-cs-3.1.31, and linux-wlan-ng-0.1.12. When I insert the Wireless Card, I obtain the following message in syslog

Feb 21 10:24:45 escher cardmgr[875]: socket 1: NETGEAR MA401 11Mbps 802.11 WLAN Card

My interface wlan0 is up, I can ping it. When I try to connect from a PC using a COMPAQ WL110 Wireless Card, the connection failed .
I try to monitor the NETGEAR MA401 with iwpriv, and wlansniff deliver in Prism2-2002-01-03, I receive frames from the COMPAQ WL110 Wireless Card, but the counter receive from the interface wlan0 isn't growing up !!!

Is my NETGEAR MA401 really in AP mode ?
Do I forget something in configuration ?

( I try to bypass the return error "hfa384x_setup_bap" in prism2.c without success )

Anyone have an idea !

Please help

Jean-Michel
