Re: FC5 PRISM Wireless won't connect

Just found a solution to my problem, so I'm following
up on my own message. I added hostap and hostap_cs to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to prevent them from being
loaded. Now orinoco_cs handles the card again and it
works fine.

Now why the hostap driver doesn't work... I have no
idea.
