--- Comment #2 from Hartmut Meyer 2007-08-06 02:42:36 MST ---
Demonstrating how
1) how all modules loaded at the same time do not yield a working wlan
interface
2) prism2_pci obviously isn't working
3) hostap_pci appears to be working (but is not)
4) orinoco_pci is working
1) how all modules loaded at the same time do not yield a working wlan
interface
