Jim, thanks a lot for your answer.
Re: How to compile and add kernel modules to the ltsp client From: Jim McQuillan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2007-02-15 04:50 >Juergen, > >You'll need more than the wireless drivers. the initramfs in ltsp has >no support for wireless networks. You'll need to be able to configure >the essid and wep/wpa encryption. I thought I would put all the needed data into the initrams. Or, I could put a file in the root directory of the disk I boot from. In this case the disk has to be mounted by linuxrc in order to read the config file. I know there has been a ltsp-wireless boot disk for ltsp 3.x. I think it used a configuration file on the boot disk (a floppy). > >Also, if your card is pcmcia, then you'll really have an uphill battle, >as there's no support for pcmcia in the initramfs. Thats no problem. Before switching to wireless I used a wired pcmcia card on my laptop. I unpacked the supplied initramfs, added the yenta_socket driver, and put a 'modprobe yenta_socket' into the linuxrc (actually /init). After that, the notebook booted without any problem. Why is this module not in the distributed initramfs? > >If you can handle those issues, then in order to build the new kernel >modules, you'll need to build an entire kernel, and use the >ltsp_kernel_kit to build the new initramfs.

However I was hoping that there Is an 'ltsp-kernel-headers' package (like in debian) I can download and install. > >You can get the ltsp_kernel_kit from: > >http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DownLoads > >It's the last thing on that page. > >Jim McQuillan >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Regards, Juergen > > >Juergen Bausa wrote: >> I am using LTSP 4.2 and want to add a kernel module (wireless lan card >> with ralink chip: rt61.ko) to the thin client.
