Re: compile 2.6.2 for laptop
Wes,
Here is an excerpt from my kernel .config
---------------------------------------------
#
# Wireless 802.11b ISA/PCI cards support
#
CONFIG_AIRO=m
CONFIG_HERMES=m
# CONFIG_PLX_HERMES is not set
# CONFIG_TMD_HERMES is not set
CONFIG_PCI_HERMES=m
#
# Wireless 802.11b Pcmcia/Cardbus cards support
#
CONFIG_PCMCIA_HERMES=m
CONFIG_AIRO_CS=m
CONFIG_PCMCIA_ATMEL=m
CONFIG_PCMCIA_WL3501=m
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y
--------------------------------------------
Also, I noticed this in your post:
You are trying to execute a "modprobe p r i s I m 2_cs" -- notice the
extra "i"
cardmgr[413]: socket 0: Bromax OEM 11Mbps 802.11b WLANc$
cardmgr[413]: executing: 'modprobe prisim2_cs'
cardmgr[413]: + FATAL: Module prism2_cs not found.
cardmgr[413]: modprobe exited with status 1
cardmgr[413]: module /lib/modules/2.6.2/pcmcia/prism2_cs$
cardmgr[413]: bind 'prism2_cs' to socket 0 failed: Inval$
Realising that the pcmcia directory doesnt exitst in
/lib/moduels/2.6.2/ I would like to know if all of this is related to
an error in compiling the kernel or something else.
I think that prism2_cs should be in the drivers/net/wireless directory,
but I could be wrong. I can't find that module, so you may need to
download and compile that module separately.
Anyway, after writing all of that, I found this:

Good Luck
