The kernel source. Patches are applied to the kernel source, not the compiled modules. I think you also may have the wrong patch for the kernel. 2.6.8 would use the orinoco-0.13e patch. What you should probably do is: 0) read documentation about building kernels 1) download the kernel source 2) install libc6-dev, libncurses5-dev, gcc, g++, make 3) copy the patch to $SRCDIR/drivers/net/wireless 4) cd $SRCDIR/drivers/net/wireless 5) patch -p1 <orinoco-0.13e-patch.diff 6) cd $SRCDIR 7) make menuconfig 8) make 9) make modules_install 10) copy the kernel to its destination 11) configure bootloader 12) reboot and test -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
