Description Nkoli Ukpabi 2006-01-28 20:57:53 UTC

The wireless card on my laptop is detected as a usb card and therefore uses the prism2_usb driver. Up until alpha 4, the card was automatically detected and configured, but after installing beta 1, yast stopped detecting the card. The kernel detects the card but the necessary driver is not loaded. It turns out that none of the drivers provided by linux-wlan-ng are installed in beta 1 or 2. Manually running 'make' in /usr/src/kernel-modules/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.2 returns 'unknown field' errors when compiling prism2_cs and prism2_usb. If those two are commented out of the makefile, p80211,  prism2_pci and prism2_plx can be compiled and installed without problems.

Due to a kernel api change, build of these drivers was broken. It's already fixed for beta3.
