thanks for the fast response,
sorry I don't know what BEFW1154 from syslink is.
I used the original linux kernel and external PCMCIA Card Services.
The PCMCIA Support in the kernel is deactivated.
The linux-wlan driver compiled succesfully and my WLAN Prism2_cs Card has
been found.
With ifconfig I can see the wlan0 interface but I dont know how to configure
it because theres
no how-to anywhere. I would like to set the card into Ad-Hoc Mode and
specify a channel.
Unfortunaltely in the wlan-ng.opts file there is no possibiltiy to configure
the card.
Perhaps I missed any important manual but in the docs coming with the
drivers theres no description about that.

kind regards...

Christian Lemke
