HELP: Nightmare with WL200

I've had this WL200 for several weeks and haven't seen it work with HostAP yet :( I've got 2 WL100s that work fine, and I know that the WL200 also works (tested it in winblows, managed mode against a WL100 running HostAP). At first I thought that the old 0.6.2 firmware was the problem, but I upgraded to 0.8.0, and today to 0.8.3 (_not fun_ to do it with prism2dl, but it works :)), but no cigar. The log is listed below. Any help would be welcome :D BTW the log shows bridge entries and other fancy stuff but I get errors even in STA mode (same TX timeouts). Everything compiled with defaults, external pcmcia-cs.

Cheers,
jd
