MA101 problems

[LaoTzuTao]

I've been trying to this nic working all day long...following the tutorials online and things I've found in the gentoo forums also...I just have no idea what the problem is. Everything goes perfect until I check iwconfig...and instead of -

eth1 ATMEL USB503A ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Channel:10 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Bit Rate:11Mb/s
RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
Link Quality:100 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

I just get -

eth1 no wireless extensions.

The only suspect thing I can see is when I check dmesg, in the tutorial it says I should get -

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 6
usb.c: USB device 6 (vend/prod 0x864/0x4100) is not claimed by any active driver.
usb.c: registered new driver usbvnet
usb_vnet_probe: usb vendor/product=864/4100
vnet_kernel.c: Reseting Usb Device

vnet_kernel.c: Reset completed.
Reg Domain
usbvnet: driver version 1.0.1.101, compiled Dec 22 2002 09:55:44 (dbg_mask x0)
MAC addr 00:30:AB:0F:xx:xx firmware 0.90.0.44
divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1
Multicast is enabled
divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1
divert: freeing divert_blk for eth1
vnetusba.c: usb eth1 initialized and registered

Well I get that exact same ouput, except for the 3 divert: lines, I have no idea what they do, or why I don't get them in my output, or if thats even the problem. Anyone at all have any idea? Thanks

Hi there. You need to enable the "Wireless LAN" option in the kernel:
Network device support ---> Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) ---> Wan interfaces support.
