I am haveing issues with HostAp working correctly with a wireless card.
I am running Slackware 10.2 (2.4.31) with a Dlink DWL-650 RevP card.
Now I have done a great bit of searching prior to this post, but still seem to be stuck. I know that the card does not have internal firmware, but that it needs to be loaded by the driver.
So far I have installed the driver, but cannot seem to get the firmware to load based on the info in Andrew Barr's Howto.
Here are some specifics:

When I try to load the firmware, I recieve this message:
Code:
#modprobe hostap_cs
#hostap_fw_load wlan0
Downloading Primary Firmware /etc/firmware/pm010102.HEX
'/etc/firmware/pm010102.HEX' not readable.
Parsing '/etc/firmware/pm010102.HEX' failed.
However I can verify that the files are indeed there:
Code:
#cd /etc/firmware
#ls -l
total 216
0 FilesList.txt
16 pm010101.hex
16 pm010102.hex
184 rf010804.hex
So that brings me to my questions:
1) Could this be caused because Orinoco drivers were priviously loaded on this box?
2) Could this be a problem with Slackware?
I found one link(can't post it yet) to a patch for the hostap driver at this but I don't know how to make the patch...
You can find the patch by googling the hostap_fw_load output.
3) Do you think the patch would point out the problem?
Thanks
