I have a laptop on which I am trying to build a custom kernel with a
custom aironet wireless driver with which I plan to do network analysis
on a 802.11b wireless network (raw 802.11b packet capture).
I began a while ago by building what was then the latest 2.4.x kernel,
and had a weird problem where the kernel seemed to build and install fine
but then after I selected it from the bootloader (I tried both lilo and
grub) the laptop would immediately reboot. I have since built and installed
several 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels on the machine.
The 2.2.x kernels work fine (it gets past the reboot stage) but the
aironet driver does not seem to work with the 2.2.x kernel. The 2.4.x
kernels all exhibit the same strange reboot behavior. The only exception
is the stock redhat 2.4 kernels which work fine.
I have tried a BIOS update on the laptop and it did not seem to make any
difference.
Any pointers on what could be causing this, easier ways of reaching my
goal, better mailing lists, etc. would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
