Hi,

Just got myself a Compaq wl200 card and want to use it as a host AP.

My setup is as follow...

Redhat 7.3 (out of the box)
Cabletron card as point to point link (WAN) (installed, configured and
tested ok. Using orinoco_cs v0.12b)
24dbi directional antenna
wl200 card as host AP (not yet install)
8dbi omni antenna

I am a little confuse as to which driver is best suited for my wl200
card. These are what I have found...
1. orinoco_cs maintain by David Gibson and Co
2. prism2_cs maintain by Mark Mathews and Co
3. hostap_cs maintain by Jouni Malinen

Which of these 3 drivers are best suited to my setup, and can other 2
coexist with Orinoco_cs(Which is currently used by my Cabletron card),
and wireless tools v24? 

Many thanks
Rob
