Hey all,
I was hoping that 2.6.33 would resolve my current issue with hostapd, but it's still not working. Here is my card info:

Could not set DTIM period for kernel driver

Not sure what a DTIM period is, but I'd sure like to find out how to get one

Apparently the 0.6 branch is bad. Installed hostapd-git from AUR and things are looking good
