 |
|
| Im trying to install Broadcom-sta and it says I need to enable CONFIG_LIB80211. I cannot find it ANYWHERE. I've checked this entire forum and people are pointing to things with kernel 2.6 that isn't there in 3.10 (stable). I found it in .config but can't find it anywhere to enable. I left Linux a few years back because of stuff like this and its looking like nothing has changed. Anyone know where it is? |

Close to 10 months ago, that Kconfig symbol was hidden, so chances are you need to recheck drivers available in kernel.
...well, that or perhaps you need to search for a more recent version of that driver. |

Run 'make menuconfig' and search lib80211 with '/', you will learn that LIB80211 is selected e.g. by 'HOSTAP && NETDEVICES && WLAN'. Thus to activate it you need to enable all those three options.

Didn't know about the handy-dandy "/" command. Learned something new today. Thanks.
As for me, "CONFIG_HOSTAP" was what I needed to make WiFi with wpa_supplicant work.
