Hi,
For the wifi stuff running in kernel 2.6.24.3 you need
a) udev install
b) zd1211-firmware install
c) wpa_supplicant (you need one without the compiled zydas driver, the old one
only works for kernel 2.4)
d) reconfigure /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf with the correct
security encryption. wpa2-psk example here:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="your wifi nameserver"
pairwise=TKIP
psk=encrypted password
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA2
priority=5
}
e) For easy use also add the /etc/network/interfaces and add:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa_driver wext
wpa_conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
f) optional wireless-lan application can be used.
