Problems with Belkin F5D7010 PCMCIA 1799:701f while trying WPA connection

[Robert Goldner <postfix@au-79.de>]

Hi,

I want to get a wpa-connection running with a belkin F5D7010 PCMCIA card 
(pci-id: 1799:701f).
I tryed every kernel from 2.6.22 (self compiled, but wlan and WPA 
running well with other cards). Now I use 2.6.27-rc2

everything seems to be ok.

But starting wpa-supplicant with

wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -d -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf

I get the following output:

The config-file is running well with a rt73, rtl8187 and a b43 card. So 
it seems, that the pcmcia-card itself is the problem.



Any hints?

Best regards

Robert

P.S. wpa-supplicant is 0.6.4, wireless-tools are 29-1 from debian lenny.
