I hope someone can help me for configuring a Compaq WL110 access point using
linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1 package on fedora C2 / 2.6.5 kernel version

I recompiled my kernel using linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1
I followed Howto guides in order to configure wifi and IP (/etc/wlan/wlan.cong, /etc/wlan/wlancfg-MyESSID,
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, ...

The pcmcia is hard-recognized.
/sbin/ifconfig displays :

wlan0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8B:D0:9A:C9
          inet adr:10.1.2.2 Bcast:10.1.2.255 Masque:255.255.255.0
          adr inet6: fe80::250:8bff:fed0:9ac9/64 Scope:Lien

but my /var/log/message shows :
