Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have been using wireless on my Dell laptop successfully under kernel |
4 |
2.6.12 |
5 |
and earlier, but I can't get it to build under kernel 2.6.13. Specifically, |
6 |
the ipw2100 package fails to compile against kernel 2.6.13.{,1,2}. I |
7 |
have looked in |
8 |
bugzilla, but couldn't see anything relevant. M`aybe I'm missing a |
9 |
trick somewhere. |
10 |
|
11 |
In detail, when |
12 |
|
13 |
/usr/src/linux => /usr/src/linux-2.6.12.6 |
14 |
|
15 |
everything works OK. |
16 |
|
17 |
But when |
18 |
|
19 |
/usr/src/linux => /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.2 |
20 |
|
21 |
there are errors beginning like this. |

BTW, I am totally confused about in-kernel versus out-of-kernel software |
58 |
for Intel wireless |
59 |
and about the hardware/driver nomenclature. Here is the (possibly) |
60 |
relevant part of |
61 |
my kernel .config file. |

(I sometimes use a PCMCIA cable-ethernet card, but not at present.) |
120 |
|
121 |
There is a comment that the ipw in-kernel driver may change in 2.6.14, |
122 |
but I don't want to wait |
123 |
for that if it turns out to be my error anyway. |
124 |

Thanks, |
