I'm trying to get wireless networking working on my netbook and I'm having trouble getting the kernel configured right. I'm trying to switch it from being compiled as a module to being just being active in the kernel, but every time I try to switch it, I get an error saying that it's dependent on another module. What module is it? I've been looking for hours, and I can't find anything.

if you key in / and search for the driver name, beneath it you should see a "depends on" bit

that should show you what that particular setting needs.

...unless, have you already gone through that?

Actually, I didn't try that, but I solved it anyway. I ended up just trying modules until it worked. I know it's not the best approach, but I was getting frustrated and figured it'd be worth a try.
