Hi,
I complied the kernel buitin broadcom drivers. So now, I have a interface
named "wlan0_rename".
But things are still not working for me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
flukebox flukebox # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
ip6tnl0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess "param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported "
this has something to do with wpa_suplicant.
can somebody help me out here ??
Also, is there any way to change my interface name wlan0_rename to wlan0 or
eth1 ??
TIA,
flukebox
