Hi,

Now i have a netgear ma311 pci-card. When i try to setup it in hostap 
mode
i get the following error message:
ifconfig: unknown IEEE802.11 media option: hostap
I read already that many people run it in hostap mode, so i wonder why 
i can't?
Here is output from lspci
...
00:0e.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan 
chipset (rev 01)
...
and from dmesg:
...
wi0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0: Intersil Prism2.5 Wireless Lan
wi0: interrupting at irq 11
wi0: 802.11 address 00:09:5b:2f:eb:2d
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)

...

tia,
schamil
