[iPAQ] Prism II chipset configuration?

I just finished fixing the linux-wlan drivers to compile with 2.4.0test8
on intel... basically all that is required is that you compile in the
netlink device to the kernel (which disables netfilters, which is a
problem, but I can live without it), change all the calls to kfree_s to
kfree, compile against the latest pcmcia... insmod netlink_dev, insmod
p80211, insert the card....

now I'm stuck at where I was stuck when I tried to get this stuff to
work against 2.2.16, and I'm hoping I'm just down to a configuration
issue?

I have another windows box running the same cards (farallon - which is a
prism2 card), in adhoc and encapsulation mode.... this laptop (dual
boot) can ping it when running windows... but I can't get to where I can
ping the other machine. Do I have to set peerstaaddress=no_value
somehow? How?
On the other hand, I'm not seeing any interrupts come in from the card
after pings...

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:09:94:50
          inet addr:192.168.168.1 Bcast:192.168.168.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:3 Base address:0x100

I will try to acquire a third (linux) laptop to test with, but my real
goal is to get this card running on the ipaq (which is arm based)....
