I'm sorry, but I have to veto part of your patch because it's clear you don't know what you are doing. Some of those cards are Orinoco or Symbol cards. The HostAP driver do *NOT* properly support them (try to scan or to use ad-hoc mode). Only the Orinoco driver do support those cards. Therefore, the HostAP driver should never bind to those cards. My howto do explain those things in details. Please don't do those kind of patches as it will break support for those of use using those cards. > + PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x0089, 0x0001), /* "Intel PRO/Wireless 2011" */ That's a Symbol card.
