[MSM]: Here's an old e-mail. I'm not sure if it's in the list archives

so I figured I'd save it here.

It may be useful for those using RH71.

Subject: [lwlan-user]: REDHAT 7.1 + wlan-ng 0.1.18 HOWTO
|
||||
|
||||
Hi all,
|
||||
|
||||
Just get the wlan-ng 0.1.18pre11 working on my redhat 7.1 and I would like
|
||||
to share the experiences with you.
|
||||
|
||||
Assumption:
|
||||
a default installation of redhat 7.1 with
|
||||
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-2.rpm installed
|
||||
|
||||
Four steps as followings:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Get kernel source ready
|
||||
install kernel-source-2.4.2-2 if you don't have the kernel source ready on
|
||||
the machine
|
||||
copy a suitable configuration file from the configs directory to .config
|
||||
make dep
|
||||
|
||||
2) Get pcmcia-cs header files ready
|
||||
download the pcmcia-cs-3.1.24.tar.gz package
|
||||
unzip it at appropriate place
|
||||
make config
|
||||
when you were asked what kind of kernel configuration you want to
|
||||
use, select "1"
|
||||
make all
|
||||
DON'T "make install"
|
||||
|
||||
3) compile the wlan-ng-0.1.18pre11 code
|
||||
download the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.18pre11.tar.gz
|
||||
unzip it at appropriate place
|
||||
make config
|
||||
select build-in kernel support
|
||||
make all
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
4) some minor configuration
|
||||
edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to comment out the card definition for
|
||||
"Intersil PRISM2 11 .."
|
||||
edit /etc/wlan-ng.opts
|
||||
change string p2RoamingMode to p2CnfRoamingMode
|
||||
set appropriate SSID for variable DesiredSSID
|
||||
create an ifcfg-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Ok, your machine should be able to work as a STA using
|
||||
wlan-ng-0.1.18pre11. If you have experience with enabling AP mode, it
|
||||
shouldn't be a problem for you enable it in redhat 7.1
|
||||

||||
