WEXT seems to suggest "wireless extensions" (but I might be wrong of |
| 16 |
course). I have the following options enabled in my kernel (some might |
| 17 |
be redundant): |

I'm pretty sure some of them are redundant, but I have not had the time |
| 50 |
yet to read about the wireless extensions/*80211 changes and their |
| 51 |
implications. However, my card is working correctly with the above |
| 52 |
config. |

Is the firmware in place (the correct one for your driver)? Post the |
| 55 |
relevant sections from /var/log/messages where the wireless card is |
| 56 |
recognized and initialized. |
