I have a d-link dwl-520 I'm trying to use hostap with, however I'm having a few problems. When I modprobe hostap_pci, I get the following error:
Code:

/lib/modules/2.4.23_pre8-gss/net/hostap_pci.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.23_pre8-gss/net/hostap_pci.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.23_pre8-gss/net/hostap_pci.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.23_pre8-gss/net/hostap_pci.o: insmod hostap_pci failed

the error as seen by dmesg:
Code:

hostap_pci: 0.1.2 - 2003-11-02 (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>)
hostap_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.

I know this card has a prism 2.5 chipset:
Code:

zeus root # lspci
...
00:07.0 Network controller: Harris Semiconductor Prism 2.5 Wavelan Chipset (rev 01)
...


does anyone know what I'm missing? help would be most appreciated.

I have one of those in my Gentoo/Shorewall router box. For some reason the modules won't load with modprobe, but they will with insmod. Try loading these three modules in this order; hostap_crypt, hostap and hostap_pci.

hmm. well, that doesn't work either. I also tried forcing a module load, and it prints unresolvable symbols

also, the prism2_pci driver loads and finds it just fine. I tried turning off some of my aggressive compiler options and reemerging it, but same thing.
