Normally, when you build pcmcia-cs against a 2.4 kernel the modules are not built since they are supposed to be included with the kernel... obviously not all of them are, however. You can force it to build the wvlan_cs driver by adding "wireless" to the end of DIRS in the top-level makefile. This will successfully build the wvlan_cs module, which can then be inserted into a 2.4 kernel and appears to work. I did observe a problem with iwconfig dumping core, but it seems to do its job before it dies, so this may be non- critical. The 1.0.6 driver is dated Dec-7-2000 and supports all the latest "orinico" firmware revisions. Somebody with the time and inclination should probably integrate it into the main kernel source and send a patch to Linus. - Jürgen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
