I had the same need several months ago. There was no .DEB package that worked with 2.6 kernels at that time, so I got the 0.2.1pre21 tar from ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng, unpacked it into /usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21 and then built the modules as described in the instructions. I am using the 2.6.7 kernel. Device is 802.11b prism3 USB made by Airvast. I am a bungler and it took a while to get things working, but it does work for my setup anyway. There is a pre23 version at linux-wlan.org. Perhaps it will work for you. Roby -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
