Hi, you have to activate CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT and nothing else to use the wext interface. You can not doe this directly in your kernel config, you have to modify the KConfig or build something that depends on CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT like ipw2200. Just set CONFIG_IPW200=m in the kernel configuration and it will also activate CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y Hauke -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
