Matt, I found out what the problem was. It was caused by memory conflict. I modified the config.opts and did a few includes/excludes io ports and memory. It fixed the problem right away. I couldn't locate any hardware infomation from Lucent/Agere and I just did by trials and errors and wathed what hermes.c did with the offset. Apparently, it reads some unmapped memory location and thinks that it is an Intersil chipset.
Thank you for your help. BTW, do you know if I can use the same interface to do both ad-hoc and managed mode concurrently ? I meant to use 1 channel for ad-hoc and and use a different channel to provide access point service. Thank you for your help again.
