Any help about which combinations of hostapd and device driver have at
least a chance of working together would be more than welcome.

Both git trees (wireless-dev and hostapd) work fine together :)

Ok, it works now for me.  Knowing which of the many combination to play
with
helped to focus my efforts.  Thanks a lot for your help.

*** Netgear WG511 (prism54) ***

I tried the following drivers:

5) CONFIG_P54_PCI in the latest wireless-dev

I don't think that supports AP mode.

6) PRISM54 in the lates wireless-dev
7) PRISM54 in 2.6.23-rc3
8) PRISM54 in 2.6.22.5

Nor do those, HOSTAP driver is the one you'd want here, along with the
hostap hostapd driver.

I tried this only shortly, but I am not so sure about this one.  The hostap
driver states that it is for "Prism 2/2.5/3 wlan cards".  Isn't there a
difference between this and prism54?

    root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 mode master
    root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 essid "SR20"
    root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 channel 6
    root@funk [~] iwconfig wlan1 rate 11M
    root@funk [~] ifconfig wlan1 up

Don't do any of that, hostapd configures everything.

Ok, it does now.  My problem turned out to be the "hw_mode=b" in the config
file.  When I use "hw_mode=g" instead, everything suddenly starts to work
:-)

Many thanks,
Jochen
