Thanks for the info.
I got the hostap utils package, but the only thing similar to the
dump_rids utility you were talking about is something called
host_diag, and it only seems to work with the prism2 driver, which
doesn't work with my card.
Is there any other way you know of that might let me find out what's
on the card?
Thanks again,
Sameer
