[Angstrom-distro-users] Orinoco vs. Hostap drivers clash (Akita + D-Link DCF 660W)

[Terry Bayne]

Walt,

I too have had issues getting WiFi to work.  I've recently posted a bug in the bugtracker.   I would encourage others who have bugs/issues to enter them into the Bug Tracking system.  It is likely the ONLY way that things will get fixed.

The card I am using (Linksys WCF-11) works beautifully under OZ, but not under Angstrom.  Some of the same problems with Orinoco drivers getting in the way.  Unfortunately I've not been able to work around the issues - but I keep trying.

Peter,

Thanks for the technique, it didn't resolve my issues, but it seems to work for others.

Thanks
Terry
