I have been having great difficulty getting this Linksys card to work with
the new familiar pre-release v0.5 or v0.4. I am using a dual sleeve which is
working fine, but the prism2 cards just don't want to work, it seems. After
installing familiar v0.5, I installed
wlan-ng-2.4.7-rmk3-np1-devfs_0.1.9-hh0_arm.ipk from
http://handhelds.org/~sjohnson/feed/. After I plug in the card it prints the
following to the console:

...
and so on, then fails

Does anyone know what those "not found" errors are above? In my wlan-ng.opts
file, these are the lines I edited (network.opts is set up for dhcp):

dot11PrivacyInvoked=true # true|false
dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0 # 0|1|2|3
dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true # true|false, in AP this means WEP
                                        # is required for all STAs
# If PRIV_GENSTR is not empty, use PRIV_GENTSTR to generate
# keys (just a convenience)
PRIV_GENERATOR=/sbin/nwepgen # nwepgen, Neesus compatible
PRIV_KEY128=false # keylength to generate
PRIV_GENSTR="p455w3rd"

AuthType="sharedkey" # opensystem | sharedkey (requires WEP)
DesiredSSID="MySSID"

Using these settings on my laptop seems to work. I have tried 128-bit,
64-bit, and no WEP and all get the same results on the ipaq. I have also
used a single pcmcia sleeve as well as a dual-sleeved pcmcia sleeve with the
same results. Can anyone help me out here?
