Subject: no CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:34:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D40774A.608@lockie.ca> (raw)
I installed compat-wireless-2011-01-25 and iwlist doesn't work but iw does.
The warning dmesg shows is "cfg80211: wext will not work because kernel
was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n. Tools using wext interface,
like iwconfig will not work." which is fine BUT my kernel is compiled with
CONFIG_WIRELESS=y
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y
and those are the only 2 'WIRELESS' anything.
I have kernel 2.6.36.3.
