| 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! mvh Mats Weckhorst |

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