Because linux/Documentation/wavelan.txt says: "wvlan_cs" driver (Wavelan IEEE, GPL) ----------------- o Config : Not yet in kernel o Location : Pcmcia package 3.1.10+ o on-line doc : http://www.fasta.fh-dortmund.de/users/andy/wvlan/ and that page (@fasta.fh-dortmund.de) says: Download:Kernel 2.0.x / 2.1.x / 2.2.x: WaveLAN/IEEE Linux driver v1.0.4 (included in pcmcia-cs-3.1.15): pcmcia-cs-3.1.15.tar.gz Linux wireless tools v19 (kernel 2.2.13 and earlier): wireless_tools.19.tar.gz Linux wireless tools v20 (kernel 2.2.14 and later): wireless_tools.20.tar.gz Kernel 2.3.x Note that kernel 2.3.x support is currently experimental. WaveLAN/IEEE Linux driver v1.0.4 (patch for kernel 2.3.50): linux-2.3.50-wvlan.patch.gz PCMCIA subsystem v3.1.15: pcmcia-cs-3.1.15.tar.gz Linux wireless tools v20: wireless_tools.20.tar.gz and Since the linux kernel 2.4.x contains its own WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 driver, this standalone driver is depreciated. Try David Hinds pcmcia package and/or the linux kernel driver (orinoco_cs). and orinoco_cs from 2.4.17 doesn't work, but wvlan_cs that came with my RH kernel does. but, I checked out the actual pcmcia-cs page, and it looks like I have to abandon my working PCMCIA stuff, is that right? I'm open to suggestions. Off list, if you don't mind, being as how I'm off topic now. -Peter - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
