netgear MA401



Hello,

I am trying to get a netgear MA 401 to work on a toshiba 3000-512.

I had it running once, but I killed the kernel modules so I have to do
it again. Unfortunately I do not recognize what I did back then.
To remove it, I deleted the /lib/modules and the /etc/pcmcia and
reinstalled the packages named pcmcia-source and wireless-tools.

What I tried until now:
1. Compiling a 2.4.20 with the following options:
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y
CONFIG_HERMES=m
CONFIG_PLX_HERMES=m
CONFIG_PCMCIA_HERMES=m
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA_RADIO=y
Should work if I understood right? But it doesn't. The cardmgr doesn't
even loed any modules automatically?

2. I tried with the pcmcia-source of debian woody, it just didn't work
with the 2.4.20.

3. I tried with the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.9 and the pcmcia-cs-3.2.3.
For this, I removed all pcmcia options of the Kernel.
# CONFIG_PCMCIA is not set
# CONFIG_NET_RADIO is not set
After booting it, I configured the pcmcia-cs-3.2.3 with:
Build 'trusting' versions of card utilities (y/n) [n]: n
Include 32-bit (CardBus) card support (y/n) [y]: y
Include PnP BIOS resource checking (y/n) [n]: n
Module install directory [/lib/modules/2.4.20]: OK
It tells me "Configuration successful.".

After that the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.9:
Build Prism2.x PCMCIA Card Services (_cs) driver? (y/n) [y]: y
Build Prism2 PLX???? based PCI (_plx) adapter driver? (y/n) [y]: n
Build Prism2.5 native PCI (_pci) driver? (y/n) [y]: n
Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux]:
pcmcia-cs source dir [/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.2.3]: 
Build for Kernel PCMCIA? (y/n) [n]:
(This should be OK, as I don't have any kernel pcmcia anymore compiled
into the kernel?)
The rest of the configuration is default.
A make all works, but a make install gives me the following error:
/sbin/depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/prism2_cs.o

I do not really know how to solve these?

Anyone has a tip or any howto I can work with?

Thanks for the help,

mfG Johannes
