you do not need to recompile the whole kernel, just the modules you |
| 2 |
need. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
in your menuconfig go into "Bus Options" and choose pcmcia support, with |
| 5 |
whatever options you need for your hardware. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Then and only then will the right things appear under Device |
| 8 |
drivers/Networking Support, there will be a section for pcmcia drivers. |
| 9 |
Choose the NE2000 compatible one, and it will build pcnet_cs (according |
| 10 |
to what you read under Help anyway) |
