Title: Hostap
Post by: ZDevil on September 29, 2007, 06:40:56 am: Is hostap blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/?
It should be loaded by default.
I need to blacklist it in order to use my Ambicom WL-1100C card.

Post by: ZDevil on September 30, 2007, 04:37:25 pm: How about this simple alternative solution works without building anything?

Edit /etc/pcmcia/config

Add the relevant information like what I've done for my Ambicom WL1100C for instance:

Card "Ambicom WL1100C 11Mbs Card 802.11b"
manfid 0xd601, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"

Save & reboot.

which kernel are you actually talking about? debian (titchy) comes with a 2.6 kernel whereas you seem to be talking about a 2.4 kernel...

Post by: zeroc87 on October 01, 2007, 07:54:56 am: I use 2.6.20-cpufreq and I can't compile the hostap-driver

Post by: zeroc87 on October 01, 2007, 02:50:05 pm: I would like to use the armstrong kernel.How Can I use it?
Title: Hostap
Post by: ZDevil on October 01, 2007, 03:22:28 pm: The titchy linux kernel is already an Angstrom one, even for the ones with fastfpe and cpufreq discussed in another thread.
Title: Hostap
Post by: zeroc87 on October 01, 2007, 04:03:44 pm: so to use another kernel I've to reinstall all?
Title: Hostap
Post by: ZDevil on October 01, 2007, 04:13:16 pm: There is no need to reinstall everything, as long as the available kernel images can be flashed/installed normally and separately from the rest of the system. It's just like changing the kernel on desktops.
Title: Hostap
Post by: zeroc87 on October 01, 2007, 05:34:05 pm: I don't understand if I have to reflash only the kernel or I have to change the kernel
Title: Hostap
Post by: ZDevil on October 02, 2007, 12:41:21 am: Just reflash and the system will boot with the newly flashed kernel.
Title: Hostap
Post by: zeroc87 on October 05, 2007, 06:57:23 am: I'm trying to make the patched driver for hostap but i can't because system tell that there aren't pcmcia extension.I don't understand why.I use kernel 2.6.22 angstrom and is impossible that there aren't wireless extension

Warning:Linux Wireless extension, CONFIG_NET_RADIO,not enebled in the kernel

Warning:No kenrel PCMCIA support found and PCMCIA_PATH is not defined
Title: Hostap
Post by: ZDevil on October 05, 2007, 07:30:51 am: I don't know if this is relevant. During apt-get dist-upgrade to Lenny I noticed that many of the pcmcia stuff in Etch are treated as obsolete and are either replaced or removed during upgrade.
