Hello!
I hade bought a SMC 2802W Adapter last week!
Since now I have got a SuSE 8.2 system with a 2.4.20 kernel!
Now want to run the card.
I tell you now what steps I have made:
First: Wireless tools and the standart SuSE 8.2 hotplug packages are
installed.
I have also :
mkdir -p /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
cd /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
wget http://prism54.org/firmware/isl3890 done.
I downloaded wget http://prism54.org/~hvr/firmware.agent and put it into
/etc/hotplug and chmod +x.
1.) I downloaded the 2.4.23 Kernel from kernel.org
2.) I unpacked the kernel to /usr/src/linux-2.4.23/
3.) I did make clean && make mrproper
4.) I wrote EXTRAVERSION =-v2 to the Makefile
5.) I downloaded
http://prism54.org/pub/linux/snapshot/kernel/v2.4/2003-12/patch-2.4.23-prism
54-cvs20031214.bz2
and did bzip -cd /path/to/patch-2.4.23-prism54.patch.bz2 | patch -p1
installiert
6.) I did /proc/config.gz > .config and load the .config in make menueconfig
7.) Now I activatet the following options:
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL: y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER: m
CONFIG_PCMCIA m
CONFIG_CARDBUS y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_COMPAQ=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_COMPAQ_NVRAM=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_IBM=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m
8.) I closed menueconfig and saved the options
9.) make dep, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install
10.) I copied and renamed the kernel an System.map to /boot
11.) I shut down the system and pluged the WLAN card into the computer.
12.) I started the system and booted with the new kernel.
13.) On startup was printed "starting hotplugging services[usb pci ...]
failed"!
What have I now to do???
Have I done something wrong??
Kind regards,
Hannes Bischof
