Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src/linux
# cat .config | grep -i ext

try enabling the following:
NETDEVICES support at:
| Code: |
Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
|
WLAN support at
| Code: |
Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
|
IEEE 802.11 for Host AP (Prism2/2.5/3 and WEP/TKIP/CCMP) at
| Code: |
Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
│ -> Wireless LAN (WLAN [=y])
|
that should enable it by default.

| I can't find the thread, but for whatever reason, in 2.6.33, it can't be enabled directly. I had to enable CONFIG_HOSTAP to get CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT enabled. It's working now. Marking solved. |
