I have a Prism 2 card in my Sorkris net4801 working as a AP without
problem.

Use "iwconfig" to check that your WiFi card is accessing your AP.

If it isn't assocated with your AP and you're using PCMCIA, rather
than USB or built in check /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opt  In mine there
was a "*,*,*,*)" case clause that needed to be deleted before the
"any,*,*,*)" clause would take effect.
