The first try to send the message below didn't work. Hoping it does now ... :)

It won't happen again in the foreseeable future. And as you also can see from the thread info on the left-hand bar of that page nobody seemed to be interested in the problem. IIRC I could not compile for weeks or perhaps even months a new 2.4 kernel version because of the mentioned errors. > i will apply as soon as i am back > in 2 weeks, if someone from the kernel team doesn't beat me to it. The site for the patch I used, IIRC: <http://www.kismetwireless.net/download.shtml#orinoco2611> wget http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/orinoco-2.6.12-rfmon-dragorn-1.diff The md5sum for the latter that I have here is 41fb7cec09f4de93cd2432eb1aceba92 So if yours will be different you can let me know. And I applied the patch to 2.6.12. Or better: I probably patched a 2.6.11 (tarball) source with patch-2.6.12.bz2, and then applied the above orinoco patch. (Uncertainty because it's already a few weeks ago I compiled this kernel ... ) And just in case it might help someone else: The following snippet might serve as an example of how to compile this more or less wifi ready patched source [Please check for yourself in case I made any mistakes ... :) ... ]: ------------------------ tar xzvf linux-2.6.11.tar.gz cd linux-2.6.11/ bzip2 -cd /path/to/patch-2.6.12.bz2 | patch -p1 [then applying the orinoco patch from above] cp /boot/someconfig . make oldconfig fakeroot make-kpkg clean time MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-4.0" fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-somename --revision +anothername kernel_image or time MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-4.0" fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=+orinoco-patched --revision +050703 kernel_image ------------------------ HTH Thanks for responding, Sven ... and yes: for your work, too :) And sorry for refusing to play nice if things run ugly ..
