Well those errors aren't surprising but it should have still loaded right? YOu
can check after running modprobe by issueing this command:
/sbin/lsmod | head -3
(You could substitute the number 3 for number 1 but I do that just in case I
get additional modules loaded like with video1394)
Ok, I take it your desktop handles connection sharing? or do you have one
chiefly as a firewall/router? Are you using ipchains or iptables? Do you know
how to configure your ip filter to do ip masquerading? If you can connect to
the desktop (That is if it is the one sharing it's internet connection), then
you need to configure your rules to allow anything connecting to your access
point (nic) to share the desktop's internet connection.
