Hi, Ivo and John.

I don't know if you received my earlier message.

The only problem that I had is that I had to reissue the command "iwconfig
wlan0 ap any" or, otherwise, the connection with the AP would be dropped (I
can get a log for you to peruse, if you wish).

Oh, these endianness problems are a headache. I just fixed some in one
small program in lame (the MP3 compressor), but in the end, I finally
won. :-)

Anyway, did you have some time to check your D-Link stick? I am willing to
test more things or other kernel trees, if that is helpful to the project.
