After Jan's helpful contribution I got my wifi working, and I don't have any |
| 13 |
of those modules loaded, nor are they compiled into the kernel. You may not |
| 14 |
have the right kernel setup. In particular, I think you want "Networking > |
| 15 |
Wireless > Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)" in preference |
| 16 |
to the one without "mac80211" in it, which is older. |

I assume you've selected the right wireless device driver, but in case it |
| 19 |
helps here's what I have: "Device Drivers > Network device support > |
| 20 |
Wireless LAN > Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)" and (in the same menu) "Intel |
| 21 |
Wireless WiFi Link Drivers" and the 3945 module. |

(I should perhaps say this is a Thinkpad T61 with the Intel 3945ABG |
| 24 |
chipset.) |
