 |
|
because of a disk crash, I had to re-image my laptop. Have everything working EXCEPT GRR! the wireless networking. I have an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200. I can see the *.c and *.h files for the driver. But nowhere in the make menuconfig does it say one word about this selection!
It's been awhile - can I just compile them myself and add to the kernel, or what? I am using the latest, linux-2.6.35-gentoo-r4, and like I say, I see the driver's *.c and *.h files in the source tree. How do I incorporate them in the kernel so I can load them? |

| search for the option identifier with / in menuconfig, see if it says a prerequisite you don't have enabled |

| Thank you for your quick response. I was finally able to reveal the IPW2200 option. It was a very obscure process, since the dependencies dont have the same name in make menuconfig as they do in the search. But finally I revealed the option, and selected it. Building the kernel now! |
