Hello,
I don't understand the last 2 steps, i'm running fedora (ok i lie its
Fuduntu, but to all intents and purposes its fedora) Kernel version:
2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686
i'm using a WG511v2 PCMCIA card, i've downloaded the correct firmware,
renamed it and modprobed everything as instructed, the bit i'm having
trouble with is this bit:
Enabling p54
To enable p54, you must first enable mac80211:
Networking Support --->
Wireless --->
<M> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
You can then enable p54 in the kernel configuration under
Device Drivers --->
[*] Network device support --->
Wireless LAN --->
[*] Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)
<M> Softmac Prism54 support
<M> Prism54 USB support
<M> Prism54 PCI support
<M> Prism54 SPI (stlc45xx) support
where do i type this, or what does it mean? I i don't have a 'networking
support' menu and it's not a program, where do i find this? is it a conf
file? I'm no stranger to linux but this is perplexing, the card works fine
on windows, but i can't get it work now. I have a kernel config file in
/etc/sysconfig but its a bit bare, as shown below:
# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=yes
# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel
That's the whole thing.
How do i enable p54 and mac80211, i'm not sure and its bloody annoying.
regards
Martin Partridge
