1 Hi!
2
3 first, sorry for breaking the threat...
4 I did find ZD1211RW:
5
6 Symbol: ZD1211RW [=n] │
7 │ Prompt: ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB-wireless support │
8 │ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/Kconfig:1 │
9 │ Depends on: NETDEVICES && !S390 && USB && IEEE80211_SOFTMAC && WLAN_80211 && EXPERIMENTAL │
10 │ Location: │
11 │ -> Device Drivers │
12 │ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
13 │ -> Wireless LAN │
14 │ Selects: WIRELESS_EXT && FW_LOADER
15
16 But it does not appear in my kernel options.
17 Looking for dependencies:
18
19 arnau@pataki ~ $ grep NETDEVICES /usr/src/.config |grep -v "^#"
20 CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
21
22 NOT S390
23 arnau@pataki ~ $ grep S390 /usr/src/.config |grep -v "^#"
24
25 arnau@pataki ~ $ grep USB /usr/src/.config |grep -v "^#"
26 CONFIG_USB=y

28 arnau@pataki ~ $ grep IEEE80211_SOFTMAC /usr/src/.config
29 # CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC is not set

66 arnau@pataki ~ $ grep EXPERIM /usr/src/.config |grep -v "^#"
67 CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y

70 So, I think I have all options selected, but those two do not appear as
71 "y" in .config, but yes in menuconfig...
72
73 I'm going to recompile the kernel and try again, but I think I don't
74 need it to make zd* driver appear as a valid option...
75
76 Am I wrong?
77
78 TIA,
79 Arnau
