Hi all.
I've ran into a bit of a problem. I'm currently running Slackware 10.1
with the standard kernel (2.4.29).
I have a Dell (Lucent) TrueMobile 1150 Series Wireless LAN Adapter
connected via PCMCIA.
On my network at home (which I am not in control of) I have to use WEP
in order to connect to the router.
In order to do this in my current kernel, I had to get a new orinoco
driver and compile it, because the orinoco driver that came with the
kernel couldn't handle WEP.

Now, when I upgraded to kernel 2.6.10, I can no longer connect to the
net. (I've editer /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf so that it'll connect to my
network at boot)
And when I try to compile the orinoco driver from source, I get tons of
errors. link to errorfile is at the bottom.
I'm not very skilled with Linux, so my knowledge is _very_ limited.
Anyone have any ideas?


This is the error that comes up: http://home.no.net/matswb/error.txt
This is an output of my .config file:
http://home.no.net/matswb/config-2.6.10.txt

Any help is usefull!

Two patches at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/lin...10.1/0689.html
and
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12340.html
should help you compile this driver.

At least, they seem to rid the compilation of the errors you mention.
Google is your friend... but YMMV.
