Hi. I have dwa 525 pci wifi adapter on my pc with debian squeeze installed. Found many in the internet for setting up access point with hostap, but not worked. Please help, maybe driver for 525 does not support ap or something else. Driver is from ralinktech.com (RT3062PCI/mPCI/CB/PCIe(RT3060/RT3062/RT3562/RT3592)).

OK. It seems nobody has answer. I ended up with adhoc+wep (just iwconfig) configuration. But now another problem arised. My laptop with ubuntu sees pc (debians) essid, connects to it and everything is working. But after restarting my ubuntu it connects but does not work, i.e. ping fails. i issue iwconfig wlan0 and it gives that wlan0 is connected to my pc (cell: pc's mac). but not working. please help.

ps: with windows everything is ok.

Please, can anybody help?
