I recently rebuilt my wireless access point that i was running on gentoo with a 2.4 kernel with the hostap_cs drivers.
I installed the new system to get updated and found that my problems were just beginning. I found a few problems and solved them slowly.
But now that i have the card working and showing up i cant understand a few things.
If someone could please inform me what is going on or what to do next to get this whole thing working that would be great.
I have one 802.11b Prism 2 Chipset PCMCIA Card
iwconfig:

eth0 no wireless extensions.

dmesg:
This is the part that i do not understand, i only have one card installed in my machine, i only have one cardbus slot and it shows up as wlan0 and wifi0 both are the same card. Please let me know if this is normal and why?

Why does it show
| Code: |
hostap_cs: Registered netdevice wifi0
|
and then this?
| Code: |
wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0
|
Please let me know what you find and what you know, this would be greatly appreciated.
