folks,
Im trying to get hostap_cs running on my FC-3 laptop, and its giving me this err:
]# ifup wlan0 /sbin/ifup: configuration for wlan0 not found.
Usage: ifup <device name>
[root@harpo firmware]# ifup hostap
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.Determining IP information for wlan0.../sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for wlan0 not found. Continuing with defaults.
basename: too many arguments
Try `basename --help' for more information.

hostap names its interface wlan%d, so thats what I did for it..
]# more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-hostap # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. IPV6INIT=no ONBOOT=no USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY= TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=wlan0 HWADDR=00:40:05:de:3a:25 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= ESSID='Apple Network ea3fa9' CHANNEL=10 MODE=Auto RATE=Auto
since ifup is a bash script, I tried -x option, it spews a lot, but is ultimately unhelpful; it finally hangs after this output:
# bash -vx /sbin/ifup hostap
....
+ '[' -x /sbin/dhclient ']'
+ /sbin/dhclient -1 -q -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-wlan0.leases -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid wlan0
/sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for wlan0 not found. Continuing with defaults.

Im a bit puzzled as to where the basename is actually done; /sbin/dhclient is an executable, not a script, so I cant imagine why it would system() out.
OTOH, if it were back in ifup-wireless (the last script dotted in by ifup), it would have +s on each line.
Anyway, Im hoping that someone here has sucessfully used hostap, and can shed some light
