> like to know if anybody got a ralink-card working in hostap-mode.

I had a ralink mini-pci working in hostap mode and running dhcpd
using this snapshot.

OpenBSD 3.7-current (GENERIC) #134: Sun May 22 01:41:01 MDT 2005

$ sudo ifconfig ral0 media autoselect mediaopt hostap nwid mywap 

The interesting thing was that both 802.11g and 802.11b clients
had no problems connecting to the ral Access Point at the same
time believe it or not.  The g client was rock solid but the b
client was up and down like a rollercoaster.  I was informed 
that I could easily kill a "g" network by introducing a "b" client
but that didn't happen for me :(  Instead the "b" client was hanging
on for dear life.

As of the snapshot above, ralink was not yet ready for prime time.
I was able to panic my wap quite easily just by starting an IPsec
session from the g client :(  I've already sent the trace to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know that the developers will get this sorted out in due time.
I'm just happy to have so many wireless device choices :)

> Is this a driver issue?

Most likely but you should be able to get a "g" network working
pretty easily with a current snapshot.

I hope this helps.
