Thank You .... i must say : This support is really fast!! :)
problem with firmware is solved ... it was caused by my chaotic update
from 3.1 release.
But.... i have another one ... status : no network
i am using SHARED key WEP-128 bit ...
i set ssid and nwkey, but i don't know, how to set
AUTHMODE to SHARED .... is there any manpage available for this driver?
Jaromir.
