hello all:
i am having a problem with my linksys wmp11 running hostap_pci. the card has been upgraded to the latest firmware 1.4.9. what im am seeing is that my laptop or ipaq can see the ip but cant connect to it. after doing some research 1. using netstumbler i see that the card only shows signal for about 1 sec then dies. this will happen about 3 times a min. I then used some wireless tools on my ipaq to watch data on the link.. when the signal does come up i see all FFFFFF's , is this some type of broadcast ? i had this problem with a with a dlink dwl-650 in a laptop , but switching to a netgear card fixed this issue. I have dug up all the data that i can off the box and it is as follows:... if anyone could help it would be great im at the end of the road on this card.

thanks for the help
Jason
