Hostap install using apt-get


I just used apt to get the hostap driver for prism based wireless cards, but now I do not know what to do with it. How do I get it to run? I know it is a very stupid question, but I am learning as fast as I possibly can. Thanks for any and all help!

Hi,

I hope someone comes and gives you a better answer.

In the meantime the name ends in '.o' try

modrobe XXXX.o

That should load the program if it is a module.

Steve
