I can't get my network card running on a clean archlinux install. It's a linksys WPC11-v2.5 network card, based on prismII(?) chipset with latest firmware (WPA compatible).
It does run with the command "ifconfig eth1 up" and I'm able to scan with "iwlist eth1 scan".
I created a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and tried to run it with wext, but that didn't work.
I remember used to have hostap_cs running in FreeBSD, so I checked lsmod |grep hostap and I found out it was running.
Then I tried to run wpa_supplicant with -Dhostap_cs, but it says the driver isn't supported.
I checked the packages list on archlinux.org, checked the svn makefile and found out it is enabled for compiling, so what's the problem?
Do i have to compile it myself or am I trying to use the wrong driver?
(Maybe WPA2 isn't supported on the card, I'll check it tonight)
Thank you in advance.

The problem was caused by loading both orinoco_cs and hostap_cs as default.
If you want to use WPA, then you should blacklist orinoco_cs in /etc/rc.conf by adding !orinoco_cs in the MODULES rule.
e.g. MODULES=(!orinoco_cs)
After restarting the computer I was able to connect to my router using wpa_supplicant.
Problem solved! Or does someone come up with a better solution?
