Looking for help here. My freshly installed Linksys WMP11 card being driven with the HostAP driver does not come up in 802.11b mode and does not respond to a iwconfig rate set:
[root_at_dawg modules]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"www.personaltelco.net" Nickname:"patch"

I'm not finding mention of this in the source configuration - other than a case statement which sets the string.
So what am I missing in getting this driver/card combination set up to do 11Mb/s?
Other than this issue the compilation and installation was nearly effortless.
