Well, I am using the latest compat-wireless-*old*... and the only reason is because I can't use a newer kernel. With 2.6.28 iwlagn works like a charm, so why would I compile compat-wireless anyway? Just to be clear about this, my kernel is the debian lenny stock kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64 > > Well, if you want to skip some modules, you just put comment it out, > e.g. edit drivers/net/wireless/Makefile and put a "#" before any line > that doesn't contain obj-$(CONFIG_IWL* > Thanks, now it goes much faster. best wishes, rodrigo.
