Dear all,
I'm sorry for the silly questoin.
My kernel version is 2.6.17
But I've just installed the 802.11 stack on my Debian 3.1.
But I got that the module can't find some external module:
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.17-5/kernel/net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac.ko
needs unknown symbol wireless_send_event
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.17-5/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko needs
unknown symbol wireless_spy_update
And I think that I'll have to install the NET_WIRELESS module.
But I can't find it.
When I look for wireless in menuconfig of the kernel, I found that
NET_WIRELESS=n.
Would anyone be kind enough telling how to enable NET_WIRELESS?
Thanks in advance.

Gentoo kernels are 42 times more popular than SUSE kernels among
KLive users (a service by SUSE contractor Andrea Arcangeli that
gathers data about kernels from many users worldwide).
There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.
