[Cooker] RE: kernel-2.4.19-17 is definitely broken
I have heard that the prism2-utils package installs and sets to run the wlan-ng driver for PRISM2 cards.. The wlan_cs driver is obsolete? -Original Message- From: Juan Quintela [mailto:quintela;mandrakesoft.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 5:29 AM To: Mcleod, Ian Cc: 'Gary Lawrence Murphy'; Mandrake Cooker Subject: Re: kernel-2.4.19-17 is definately broken mcleod, == Mcleod, Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: mcleod, I am using the stock standard Mandrake 9.0 kernel - I have lost XMMS sound mcleod, (could be unrelated though) - are we advised to upgarde our kernel? This should work, no idea why it is borken :( Will look at it. BTW, this kernel is still not aimed as 9.0 upgrade. ACPI works in all my machines (except in one and it uses old code automatically just well), but I _know_ that it don't work in all people machines :( 9.1 will have ACPI kernel by default and everybody that complains until then will have acpi fixed or their system blacklisted to use the old code. Problem is that basically all the new laptops PIV requires or need ACPI to function well. mcleod, BTW - when will the wlan-ng (as opposed to wlan_cs) wireless kernel drivers mcleod, be included by default? /lib/modules/2.4.19-18mdksmp/kernel/3rdparty/prism25/cs/prism2_cs.o.gz This driver should be the one that you are searching for, or I don't know what wlan-ng are you talking about :( Later, Juan. -- In theory, practice and theory are the same, but in practice they are different -- Larry McVoy

No. The wlan-ng drivers are already in stock Mandrake kernels. The prism2-utils package includes some basic utilities necessary for actually using these drivers. wlan_cs is an older driver, somewhat obsolete, but still used by some. wlan-ng and the orinoco_cs driver are the more up-to-date drivers. -- adamw
RE: [Cooker] RE: kernel-2.4.19-17 is definitely broken
Why isn't it enabled by default of have an option on installation? At least it is easy to install just by installing the prism2-utils package (and then it is enabled?) -Original Message- From: Adam Williamson [mailto:aw280;cam.ac.uk] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 9:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] RE: kernel-2.4.19-17 is definitely broken On Tue, 2002-10-29 at 22:51, Mcleod, Ian wrote: I have heard that the prism2-utils package installs and sets to run the wlan-ng driver for PRISM2 cards..
