Hi,
I have tried out the WEP functionality in HostAP mode, and experienced a problem. It seems like the card resets by some reason and then the driver disables WEP. It has happened a few times and I decided to make a test. I had a client pinging the bridge in the AP during the night, and everything worked fine. But when I stopped the pinging this morning it just took about two minutes until the card was reset. Here is a printout of what happened:

Some things may be broken...

I have 2002-04-13 driver and a StrongArm based platform with a Socket ethernet card on a Compact Flash and Philips WLAN card on PCMCIA. Any ideas?
Thanks for a great list!
