I first had a problem with finding out where to put the microcode. Code: # grep \"^FIRMWARE_DIR\" /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent grep: /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent: No such file or directory So that seemed to be a problem, but the ReadMe mentioned that the destination was usually at /lib/firmware, so I went with that for the time being. My main issue seems to be with the ieee80211 subsystem. When I use the sourceforge version: Code: Could not be determine if firmware_class is already loaded. Attempting to load driver anyway... WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211_crypt (/lib/modules/2.6.21.50/net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt.ko): Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting ieee80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.21.50/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko): Invalid module format When I use the kernel's version of ieee80211, I get a make error: Code: make[2]: * No rule to make target `net/ieee80211/ieee80211_module.o', needed by `net/ieee80211/ieee80211.o'. Stop. make[1]: * [net/ieee80211] Error 2 make: * [net] Error 2** If anyone can help me this, I would be greatly indebted. Getting wireless on Linux would be a dream come true. : )
