My platform is a Soekris 4801 running M0n0wall 1.1, running the net48xx 
image.  I'm having some I'm using a Netgate/Senao/Intersil 2511mp (mini-pci) 
from Netgate, and can't seem to get hostap mode working right.  I tried the 
firmware it shipped with, no dice, it kept trying to be a client.  I flashed 
with 1.5.6 and it seemed to act correctly, but client's couldn't connect. I 
tried the newer 1.7.4, and it worked the same as 1.5.6.  My clients were all 
Prism 2.x clients who were verified to work with my Linksys AP/router.

The clients and NetStumbler could see the SSID broadcasts.  I could attempt 
to connect, but it would always fail.  I tried both with WEP enabled and 
without.  I tried from a couple of different client systems.

Any ideas?  I have enclosed some screen shots from m0n0wall.  The firmware 
is currently at 1.5.6.  Is there anything I should be checking?

Everything else runs great.  M0n0wall is a great piece of software, Manuel 
has done a great job putting it together.

Regards,

Mark
