Half way there!!
I have finally gotten my Linksys WUSB11 ver 2.8 access point to be recognized by Gentoo Linux running on 2.6.1 kernel. If I do a ifconfig wlan0, I get the proper MAC address and IP (including the gateway). So I know the driver I compiled is working. But when I try and configure the access point using iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed I get the error
Error for wireless request set Mode (8B06)
SET failed on device wlan0; Invalid argument
I think Im missing a config file somewhere. If I need to post more info please let me know. I have turned off WEP. |

| I solved the problem.. Turns out I need to have Wirless compiled directly into the kernel instead of as a module. |
