I didn't actually use *emerge* for the wlan_ng drivers. I downloaded the .tar.gz file extracted it into a directory and then
| Code: | make config
make all
make install |
within this directory and it's been fine. There are a few wlanctl commands to set the connection up, they are all in the README.
my card is a netgear MA311 pci (prism 2.5 chipset) |

Check to make sure you have the pcmcia modules loaded (i82365, ds, and p80211). If you don't have them, emerge pcmcia-cs, and then rc-update add pcmcia default.

no, you dont. He was talking to the other guy, about resolving the symbols. |

i got it workin
here is my specs
powerbook 500 mhz pismo
pcmcia-cs 3.2.4
linux-wlan-ng 0.2.1_pre3
need to add ~x86 to your accept keywords to be able to emerge the linux-wlan-ng drivers
and i had to manually merge the pcmciacs drivers
then cp /etc/conf.d/net /etc/conf.d/net.wlan0
cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
then
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start
/etc/init.d/wlan start
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
also btw if i take out my wlan card without doing cardctrl eject my powerbook just powers off. any one know anything about that? |
