LinuxQuestions.org - Wireless worked in FC2, but not in Slack 10.1

I recently installed slackware in place of FC2. Now I cannot get my Dlink dwl 520 Rev E to work. I got the hostap module in the kernel.

Code:

root@darkstar:/home/jon# lsmod | grep host

hostap_pci            40248  0  (unused)

hostap                90696  0  [hostap_pci]

However, when I try to download the firmware to the card, I get an error

Code:

root@darkstar:/home/jon# hostap_fw_load wlan0

Downloading secondary (station) firmware /etc/firmware/rf010803.hex

srec summary for rf010803.hex

Component: 0x001f 1.8.3 (station firmware)



ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No data available

STAID not available (maybe running PRI-only)

ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No data available

ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No data available

Could not read wlan PDA. This requires PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT definition in

driver/module/hostap_config.h.

I remember it took me a while to get this working in FC2, but that was my first linux install. Now I know I am doing everything right. I have the variables in the hostap_fw_load file correctly set to the firmware files.
I am using this tutorial
