I have posted before regarding some networking issues I'm having. I have been struggling for the past 2 weeks to get a stable network Configuration with my new dell Inspiron 1420 laptop (I have EL5 working perfectly on a Dell server. Both the server and laptop share the same network). The laptop has two network controllers: 1) Intel(r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN 2) Broadcom Netlink Fast Ethernet Wireless troubles: When I compiled ndiswrapper, it complained of a CONFIG_4KSTACKS stack issue. When I activated the wireless network, it works for a while and then hangs the laptop (I have to pull all laptop power and reboot). My thought was the CONFIG_4KSTACKS issue. I was told to install: dkms-ndiswrapper. I did. It still hangs. I was then told to look at link: Visit: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi. I followed those instructions but the "make" failed with: scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/i386/Kconfig net/mac80211/Kconfig:5:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'MAC80211' refer to undefined symbol 'CRYPTO_ECB' net/mac80211/Kconfig:11:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'MAC80211' refer to undefined symbol 'NET_SCH_FIFO' CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'. Stop. make: *** [init] Error 2 I believe I need the kernel source and I'm no kernel compiling expert. This seems a bit risky for me. ARG! Wired troubles: The Broadcom connection doesn't hang the laptop. However, after it runs for a few minutes, it completely messes up the cable modem or router. I haven't figured out which yet (after it runs for a few minutes both the server and laptop routing fails. I have to power-off/on the cable modem to get networking working again. Anyone have a clue how that can happen???). ARG! There has to be some answers to getting either of these networking components stable. ANY help is greatly appreciated.
