+It may be useful for those using RH71.

+Subject: [lwlan-user]: REDHAT 7.1 + wlan-ng 0.1.18 HOWTO
+
+Hi all,
+
+Just get the wlan-ng 0.1.18pre11 working on my redhat 7.1 and I would like
+to share the experiences with you.
+
+Assumption:
+ a default installation of redhat 7.1 with
+kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-2.rpm installed
+
+Four steps as followings:
+
+1) Get kernel source ready
+install kernel-source-2.4.2-2 if you don't have the kernel source ready on
+the machine
+copy a suitable configuration file from the configs directory to .config
+make dep
+
+2) Get pcmcia-cs header files ready
+download the pcmcia-cs-3.1.24.tar.gz package
+unzip it at appropriate place
+make config
+ when you were asked what kind of kernel configuration you want to
+use, select "1"
+make all
+DON'T "make install"
+
+3) compile the wlan-ng-0.1.18pre11 code
+download the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.18pre11.tar.gz
+unzip it at appropriate place
+make config
+ select build-in kernel support
+make all
+make install
+
+4) some minor configuration
+edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to comment out the card definition for
+"Intersil PRISM2 11 .."
+edit /etc/wlan-ng.opts
+ change string p2RoamingMode to p2CnfRoamingMode
+ set appropriate SSID for variable DesiredSSID
+create an ifcfg-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
+
+Ok, your machine should be able to work as a STA using
+wlan-ng-0.1.18pre11. If you have experience with enabling AP mode, it
+shouldn't be a problem for you enable it in redhat 7.1
+
+Regards,
+Leonard Ye
