 |
|
Ok, I finally decided to give wireless config a new try, a little more luck this time around, the little lights on the card flicker, well just one.
I did the following, included the yenta socket in the kernel, emerged madwifi ( it's a dlink g650)
now emerged madwifi-driver, madwifi-tools
now dmesg shows this

now, I really don't know what to do, I try what is on the forum, and nothing seems to work...
Apreciate the time you took to read this,

Check your kernel; you need wireless support besides pcmcia support - or if it's a module, the "wlan" and "wlan_" modules need to be loaded. Also, there's more than one ath_ -module.
If that doesn' t help:
What revision does your card have? Rev A needs prismgt, rev B and C need madwifi-drivers, afaik. (I do not entirely trust lspci output...)
Also, is there no "+" behind the card's name? |

nope, it's a revision b if I'm not mistaken,
and it's a simple one, no + sign.
Now at least this time there is comething hapening... I mean at least a light flicks..
am including one more thing in the kernel, inside the device drivers, networking , wireless support..
let me see if it works....
I really don't know if it did something, my instintc tells me no..
I added the option in the kernel, in the wireless(non ham-radio) section, and now ran the make && make modules_install..
it starts, for about 1 min then this :
| Code: | INSTALL drivers/net/s2io.ko
INSTALL drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia.ko

if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.11-gentoo-r9; fi

WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9/net/wlan_ccmp.ko needs unknown symbol crypto_free_tfm
|
well , one would think nothing compiled...
so I un check the option and try to compile, and I get the same thing...
Is there a crypto module somewhere that should be included?

| Yes. You need crypto api support and even better is if you have AES enabled there. Check /usr/doc/madwifi-driver-[version]/README.gz ... |

I now have crypto support(since I last wrote on this forum)... I have read lot's and lot's of info, al over, and still can't finish this up , still can't modprobe ath-pci
thanks for the reply
