Hi all,
I am trying to setup a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network adapter using the software provided in http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/. But I am getting the following error:
...
Checking kernel compatibility in:
/lib/modules/2.6.18/source//
! CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_NETLINK can not be set in .config!
...
Which apparently gets triggered by the following lines in the "../mac80211-10.0.2/scripts/determine_compat" script
.....
grep -q "nlmsg_trim" \
${KSRC}include/net/netlink.h && {
export has_nlmsg_trim=1
} || {
grep -q "^CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK=[ym]" \
${KSRC}.config && {
echo " ! CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_NETLINK can not be set in .config!"
exit 1
}
}
......
As you can see I am running kernel version 2.6.18.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Max

Since this question doesn't relate to upstream mac80211, I'd suggest you
only post it to [email protected].

The code mac80211-10.0.2 integrated doesn't work with
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK enabled. You should deselect it from your
kernel config file.
