I solved my laptop's wireless difficulties by hiding the large hammer I
was going to use to wail on my wireless NIC and then I:
1. Compiled my own kernel with vanilla sources. The last time I did
this was with 2.4.25 some 143 days ago or so my signature tells me. It
should work with the latest 2.4 or 2.6 source.
When I configured my kernel, I turned on:
General: PCMCIA/CardBus support:
PCMCIA/CardBus support: Yes
CardBus support: Yes
i82365 compatable bridge support: Yes (this may vary depending on your
laptop)
Network Device Support: Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)
Wireless LAN(non-hamradio): Yes
2. Rebuild the pcmcia-cs package by hand with the source from
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net
When I ran make config, I pointed the source to my kernel source
directory and I only answered yes to:
Include 32-bit (CardBus) card support (y/n) [y]:
then make all && make install
3. Download the newest wireless card drivers from
http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan
make config and answer the questions as they pertain to your laptop
then, make all && make install
Finally, type depmod -a and then restart pcmcia. I do not know where
slackware keeps its init.d but with my Debian box its in /etc/init.d and
RH based creatures tend to keep theirs in /etc/rc.d/init.d but cd there
and issue a ./pcmcia restart command.
You should now hear two beeps of the same tone and the LEDS on your
wireless NIC "should" alight.
HTH,
The Logan
