From ccannell at mindspring.com Fri Nov 4 15:22:36 2005 From: ccannell at mindspring.com (Chris J Cannell) Date: Fri Nov 4 15:22:32 2005 Subject: [Wd_general] miniPCI wifi modules with White Dwarf Message-ID: <001601c5e17d$7f09afb0$0401a8c0@prescott> Can anyone recommend any miniPCI based wifi cards that work well with White Dwarf Linux out of the box. I've looked at the compatibility lists online but I'm looking for first hand experience from users. I will be using this with a Kontron X-board 861. Thank you.

I have a couple of questions about doing so. 1. Are the generic linux kernels in White Dwarf the same as you would get off of kernel.org? 2. Does anyone have the compiled ftdi_sio.o module for White Dwarf? 3. What would be the easiest way to compile the ftdi_sio module? I do not have a full machine with White Dwarf linux installed, just DimmPC modules (I don't think those have enough space to install the kernel source?). http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/FT2232CDrivers.htm Thank you, Chris J Cannell Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University ccannell@vt.edu www.ascl.ece.vt.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm using White Dwarf 2.2. I can build the madwifi module but the wpa_supplicant fails when doing a make. I've trying a bunch of tutorials on the web with no luck.
