Much easier in my opinion than rolling your own.On Sat, 1 Nov 2003 17:53:27 +0000, Pigeon wrote:Go ahead and install Debian, without worrying about getting the NIC working yet. Use the machine that you're posting from to go to http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/kernel-source-2.4.22.html and download the .deb of kernel-source-2.4.22. Then install that, install make-kpkg, and build yourself a 2.4.22 kernel with support for the Broadcom.I have no idea how to manualy install a kernel and adding extra stuff to it means editing files I have no understanding of. I'm going to stick with just trying to make a module...no need: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/kernel-package.html ..instead of wasting time on tossing stuff into your deb in the un-deb way, click-n-read the the links we gave you.
