I have finally compiled and installed the custom 2.6.39.4-13 kernel with modules too. What I did is the following. I download the kernel debian packages bubba3-kernel_2.6.39.4-13_powerpc.deb bubba3-kernel-headers-powerpc_2.6.39.4-13_powerpc.deb from here: http://b3.update.excito.org/pool/main/l/linux/ then I installed these two debian packages, and reboot the Bubba 2 headless PC Box successfully. After that I did follow the steps described here: http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/Building_a_custom_kernel with the small exception: In menuconfig I check the needed module: =========== arch/powerpc/configs/bubbatwo_defconfig - Linux/powerpc 2.6.39.4 Kernel Configuration Linux/powerpc 2.6.39.4 Kernel Configuration Device Drivers --> Netword Device Support --> Wireless LAN --> Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU USB Wireless Network Adapter Save the file in Menuconfig, then exit from there. cp arch/powerpc/configs/bubbatwo_defconfig .config make sudo make modules_install This did install the modules in the right place. Now I'm trying to setup the network and interfaces so get the usb wireless adapter to works. I'm following the advices described here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-setting-wireless-access-point/ and here: https://agentoss.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/creating-a-wireless-access-point-with-debian-linux/ sofar without success.. When I run the command bellow: sudo hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf I get the messages: random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf Line 6: invalid/unknown driver 'rtl8192sfw' 1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf' I tried with driver names: rtl8192cu, rtlwifi to, but without any success. Which drivername is walid? How can I find the proper drivername for my usb wireless network adapter? -- Regards from Pal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
