Suggestions (other than give up and buy a WAP)?
You have to run depmod before trying to load the module. /sbin/depmod -a That should be all that you need.

Ted: ALL? Do you realize what you're asking? Men aren't trained to share. We're trained to protect ourselves by not letting anyone too close. Good grief, if I go around sharing everything with you, you could hang me out to dry. Sally: It's called "trust," Ted. Ted: "Sharing"? "Trust"? You're really asking me to sail into uncharted waters here. -- Sally Forth --------------------------- 2.4.18-16mdk Mandrake Linux release 8.3 (Cooker) for i586 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
