Subject: Question about wireless configuration
Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2010 08:36:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CD2B6E9.9080303@lwfinger.net> (raw)

I am trying to test the latest Realtek driver for the RTL8187L. In order for the
driver to be able to scan, CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT must be set to "y". I could find
no way to do that with the kernel configuration utilities until I made the
following patch. I know it is wrong, but I would like to know the correct way.

Thanks,

Larry
