Thanks for the link.

Now I'm running linux-2.6.28-rc2, which is the latest from the 
rc-series. The Station mode, which used to work, is now not working, at 
least on my Intel Xscale IXP425-based ARM big-endian developer board. 
After applying the patch, iw-0.9.6 (the latest at this time) is capable 
of creating an interface running in AP mode, and hostapd doesn't 
comlain, but in fact, I'm unable to find any network with my laptop - 
and the network interface of the laptop is perfect, since I used to see 
the AP network with Madwifi driver, and other surrounding wireless 
networks...

Is anybody here who has also experienced this with rc2? (git version 
from the last week supported station mode at least)

Thanks

Bye
