madwifi, dwl-G510 and Debian 3.1
I'm trying to get a dlink DWL-G510 wifi board working with a Debian 3.1
system.
Currently I'm running a stock 2.4.27 kernel.
So far the stock kernel doesn't seem to see the card and reports only
the
onboard ETH0 ethernet.
I set this system up using my onboard ethernet as ETH0 but I want to
settup
the wireless dlink dwl-g510 card. (rev B) I have it working in the W2K
Pro side of a dual boot setup.
My questions:
1. Do I need to simply recompile the kernel with support for this card?
(I couldn't find it in the Ethernet devices section of the config)
2. Do I need to recompile the kernel and then compile MadWifi against
the new kernel? If so, it seems that I also need to enable crypto API,
but I can't find it in the kernel config or in any debian package.
3. What else must the kernel have configured to get this card to work?
When I try to compile madwifi I get:
Checking if all requirements are met... FAILED
Please enable crypto API.
make: *** [configcheck] Error 1
I couldn't find the crypto API in any of the kernel settings or Debian
packages.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
