I read about hostap mode, I even saw someone (Warner I > think it was) is using this same card. But the leds just blink when I > try to set it up with the above type of setup. If the wpc11 use the Intersil firmware, you should do "wicontrol -p 0" and the rest should be the same. (I do not have a card with Intersil firmware yet, but this is what I learned when merging the OpenBSD "mediaopt ibss" stuff.) If it is using Symbol firmware, you need to use "wicontrol -p 4" and it can't be a master so the "-c 1" is useless.
