Er, kinda. It means I'll have to go back to the original 0.7.2 stable
release, which doesn't have the multisync support. I tried forcing it
into the unstable release but:
/etc/network # ifup wlan0
modprobe: failed to load module p80211
Failed to load p80211.o.
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng-pre-up exited with
return code 1: Success
modprobe: failed to load module p80211
Failed to load p80211.o.
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng_pre-up exited with
return code 1: Success
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools exited with return
code 251: Success
The driver modules are loaded (cos I forced them in), but not the wlan0
interface.
I had to copy in my laptop's /etc/network/if-pre-up.d directory to get
that far, because there is no ipaq Familiar package that contains or
generates them that I can find.
Meanwhiles, a lot of work-to-be-done piles up...
Vik :v)
