ianw1974 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Are you sure it doesn't already exist within the kernel already? Check your /boot/config-xxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the kernel version you are running now, like this: cat /boot/config-xxxxxx | grep -i mac | grep 802 You should get some results similar to this: CONFIG_MAC80211=m # CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS is not set # CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS is not set # CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC=m CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG=y as you can see, mine has it as a module so all it would take to use it is to modprobe the module name: modprobe mac80211 I'm not using Mandriva, but I would expect Mandriva to already have this within the kernel.
