 Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2004 9:19 am Post subject: WUSB11v2.6; at76c503a driver fails to build |
 |
|
Hello,
I'm currently in the process of switching a MDK10 over to Gentoo. I'm trying to get the the wireless 802.11b card to work with just so happens to be the loathed Linksys WUSB11. I used to use the at76c503a under Mandrake 10 with good results, even WEP worked! However, I can't get them to compile under Gentoo.
Here's where things start to go sour:

This a brand spanking new install of Gentoo so everthing should be current.

Well, since no one piped up and I don't know anything about programing, I decided to try the atmel. I'm supposed to patch my kernel but, I both hunks fail to patch. I get the error, "Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]" I'm just using the plain jane vanilla kernel, 2.6.9 compiled with genkernel. Does anyone know if this one's already been patched?

Hello,
I'm using the atmelwlandriver successfully. The one difference I might have is that I'm using linux26-headers - that may be causing the at76c503a problems.
I also just skipped the kernel patch. I had no trouble with my USB device without it, despite what the website says. The website references 2.6.3, so perhaps the patch is included in recent kernels.
Just extract the source and run:
make usb buildonly=release
make lvnet
make install
The linksys WUSB11v2.6 ran just fine using the usbvnetr driver. I'd also suggest setting up hotplug, and following the advice in the wireless setup guide for using the latest baselayout (which will configure wireless in the startup scripts).

the reason the berlios driver won't work is that it's designed for 2.4 kernels. If you want to use it on a 2.6 kernel, you need ot use a cvs snapshot.

Yeah, actually I was able to get things working by using the CVS version of the drivers. I did not patch my 2.6.9 kernel either.
Do you think this would deserve a little howto?

Not really. The at76c503's page tells you quite clearly that you need to use CVS for kernel 2.6, and gives you clear instructions on how to use CVS.
Although the instructions on how to modify at76c503-rfmd for Linksys WUSB11 v2.6 aren't very clear (you have to change a #include statement)...

Yeah, suppose you're right. The confusing thing is that the site instructs you to patch the kernel when you actually don't have too, at least with 2.6.9 kernel I used.
