Hi.
I have DWL-650 card with firmware:

ul 25 00:28:14 cpq7400 kernel: wlan0: NIC: id=0x800c v1.0.0 Jul 25 00:28:14 cpq7400 kernel: wlan0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.0.7 Jul 25 00:28:14 cpq7400 kernel: wlan0: STA: id=0x1f v1.3.5

The card worked fine with driver from CVS unitil ~ July 18.

The latest driver give me this messages: Jul 25 01:36:10 cpq7400 kernel: hostap_cs: hostap_cs.c 0.0.0 2002-05-19

and if I try ifconfig MAC of the card is 00:00:00:00:00:00 

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

iwconfig shows this:

Any idea what could be wrong, The system is Mandrake 8.2/Cooker and driver was compiled with gcc-3.1.1-1mdk
