    Is 'mediaopt hostap' supposed to with the Project Evil ndis driver? I
    just acquired a Linksys WMP54G card which appears to use the Broadcom
    43xx chipset. I was originally intending to build a home-made access
    point out of the thing but I can't set the hostap mode.

    Project Evil likes this thing just fine with the drivers that came in
    the box and happily sends and receives packets in adhoc mode. When I
    try something like 'ifconfig ndis0 mediaopt hostap' I just get a
    'Device not configured' error:

    # ifconfig ndis0 mediaopt hostap
    ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (mediaopt): Device not configured

    Any ideas? Should I be doing something other than 'mediaopt hostap' to
    make it an AP? I've attached my dmesg and driver inf files in case
    anyone wants them. I'll send the driver sys file on request - I tried
    attaching it and the mailing list server blackholed it.
