Yep. They've been merged into 2.6.24, too. I'm using a 2.6.22 kernel with mac80211-9.0.4 and iwlwifi-0.1.12 (a little old now) patched in on my laptop with the 3945 card and it works fine. I sometimes have trouble with WEP when using NetworkManager, but WPA and WPA2 works great. > > Integrated Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 > This may be a problem device. > the closest model I could find to it: > Laptop Inspiron 1300 915GM Gentoo ~x86 Works with the latest > xf86-video-i810 (4/25/2007) and xserver packages, no 915resolution > needed with latest drivers. I have this card. It works fine using xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 or the newer xf86-video-intel-2.x releases. What's in LFS stable and BLFS SVN should work fine for you except for the wireless card. You'll have to either upgrade the kernel to 2.6.24 or patch in the mac80211 and iwlwifi releases to older kernels (you also need the firmware). > I would recommend using a current distro and checking the hardware > compatibility before starting the build, just so you know exactly what > chipset drivers you need for the functionality you want before starting > the build. That's a very helpful suggestion. Finding out what kernel modules are in use can help a lot when trying to create a new kernel .config. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
