Which patch and kernel version are you using, and what errors are you getting because the messages didn't seem to make it through. When you pick a version of the orinoco patch, you need to select the one that matches the version of the orinoco source (number found at around line 400 of orinoco.c). The orinoco patch for 0.13e that I have does not apply cleanly to 2.6.9 even though the source file retains the same version number. > On Sun, 24 Oct 2004 14:11:45 -0400, Seneca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What you should probably do is: > > 0) read documentation about building kernels > > 1) download the kernel source > > 2) install libc6-dev, libncurses5-dev, gcc, g++, make > > 3) copy the patch to $SRCDIR/drivers/net/wireless > > 4) cd $SRCDIR/drivers/net/wireless > > 5) patch -p1 <orinoco-0.13e-patch.diff > > 6) cd $SRCDIR > > 7) make menuconfig > > 8) make > > 9) make modules_install > > 10) copy the kernel to its destination > > 11) configure bootloader > > 12) reboot and test -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
