RE: upgrade the kernel?

["Tim Harrison" <skippy@heedspin.com>]

I've got everything working now with 2.4.18.  Woohoo!!  Wireless linux!
But I'm not sure I did things the correct way.

I figured this out.  This is dependent on CONFIG_NET_RADIO in the kernel
build.  So, I rebuilt the kernel with that flag turned on (I just edited
.config), and then rebuilt the pcmcia-modules.  During the build it asks me
a bunch more "make config" type questions.  That felt like the wrong time to
be asking me, so I suspect my editing CONFIG_NET_RADIO directly in .config
was not the "right" way to do this.

I'll be looking into this stuff next.  I was hoping to find a .deb, so I
wouldn't have to mess with the debian build scripts.

Thanks for your responses.
