Re: wireless lan PCMCIA card advice

Dear Curt,

in message [ref] you wrote:

I am running ELDK 2.0.2 which does have RPMs for pcmcia-cs and
wireless-tools.  I also see my target installation has the "iwconfig"
program installed in /sbin.  The target also has /etc/pcmcia/* and
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia.

OK.

From your email I gather all I need to do is recompile my kernel to

include support for the wireless LAN (CONFIG_NET_RADIO) .  Is that
correct ?

Right, but you need a  recent  kernel  (from  our  CVS).  The  kernel
specific  parts  (stuff like drivers/pcmcia/m8xx_pcmcia.c) were added
after the release of  ELDK  2.0.2  [and  some  more  extensions  like
simultaneous  support  for  both  PCMCIA  slots on MPC860 systems was
added even later].

Don't forget to run

	bash$ make modules
	bash$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/opt/eldk/ppc_8xx

when building your kernel.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Of course there's no reason for it, it's just our policy.
