Re: Problem with netgear card
Ok I am lost. I installed this system that I am running with potato and
2.2.17. I then downloaded the kernel source for 2.2.19 and compiled it the
way I need it for my current system. So, what is this about keeping the
.config file and configuring it the same way that the kernel was configured?
Maybe I am lost but I am not sure what that has to do with me compiling the
extra drivers for the netgear card. Do you mean that I need to compile again
to generate this file?
Thanks for the help.
