As I understand it, this the basic procedure (mostly from the wlan-ng readme): - install/extract kernel sources - configure kernel source ('make menuconfig'), check wlan support is enabled - extract linux-wlan-ng sources - on l-w-ng sources, do 'make config', 'make all', 'make install' - rebootThat's what I do too ... except that I also compile the kernel from the source and .config that is referenced when building the prism modules.

Ok, seems I have both /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386 (from the install) and /lib/modules/2.6.8 (from the compile I did yesterday). The latter had linux-wlan-ng in it. Tried moving that folder to 2.6.8-2-386, but 'modprobe prism2_usb' just reports 'invalid module format' for 'p80211.ko' and 'prism2_usb.ko'. Guess I'll need to download the source for 2.6.8-2-386 but 'apt-cache search kernel-source-2.6' only gives one result - the same 'kernel-source-2.6.8' that I downloaded and compiled with yesterday. Anyone any idea how to get the source for 2.6.8-2-386, or is it just the headers and kernel image I need? Dave
