Hi Zeerak, |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
When calling "make menuconfig", then enter section "Device Drivers" --> |
| 48 |
"Network Device Support" --> "Wireless LAN", all I can see are these |
| 49 |
options: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
[ ] Wireless LAN (pre-802.11) |
| 52 |
[ ] Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) |
| 53 |
< > Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection |
| 54 |
< > Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I have selected both Intel PRO/Wireless sections and the only |
| 57 |
sup-options that appeared were: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
[ ] promiscuous mode |
| 60 |
[ ] full debugging output |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
But there was nothing written about "Intel Wireless Wifi" or iwlagn |
| 63 |
stuff.... |
| 64 |
Even if I checked all the options nothing more appeared. |
