Thanks a lot to all of you. I recompiled with a new version of kernel
v2.6.16.16 and the things start to work fine.

Just at the back of my mind, i also suspect that i made a mistake last
time (but i am not sure). My entried in the my_blacklist file were:
orinoco_cs
orinoco

but Actually they should be:
blacklist orinoco_cs
blacklist orinoco

Anyways, everything related to blacklist works fine. But still my
Host-AP does not work fine. I will report the Host-AP problems in my
previous thread which was related to Host-AP.

Thanks a lot.
