While in the compatibility list I don't read anything about bcm5702x ethernet card, neither about wireless ones (the 2 network cards I'm interested on), when looking at:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/contrib/binary-hurd-i386/Packages It looks like the ipw2100 source is available for debian gnu/hurd. Is this just a mistaken interpretation I'm performing? Please notice the following package included: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package: ipw2100-source Priority: optional Section: contrib/net Installed-Size: 156 Maintainer: Sebastian Ley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Source: ipw2100 Version: 1.1.0-1 Depends: module-assistant, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, debhelper (>> 4.0) Suggests: fakeroot Filename: pool/contrib/i/ipw2100/ipw2100-source_1.1.0-1_all.deb Size: 137606 MD5sum: 00f81208678addd971798b23ef2a0952 Description: source for the ipw2100 driver This package provides the source code for the ipw2100 kernel modules. Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 (IPW2100) mini PCI adapter is a common component of Centrino notebooks. . In order to compile these modules you need the kernel sources (or the kernel-headers for the kernel-image packages from Debian). For compile instructions look into /usr/share/doc/ipw2100-source/README.Debian or simply use the module-assistant utility. . The project's homepage can be found here: http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it posible to compile ipw2100 driver under hurd and to make it work under hurd as well? I don't think hurd has a module conception for the kernel as under linux, so I think this was just a package dropped from linux distribution, but what on earth, I had to ask just in case, :-)... Maybe it's just a mistake in the package list... Thx, -- Javier-Elias Vasquez-Vivas
