Hi Martin,

Let me know what kernel options for enable wireless modem support, so that I can build a full support kernel for all wireless modem devices.

The voyage kernel source does not come with madwifi, you need to build by yourself or do it in debian kernel module way : http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.5/madwifi/madwifi-source_0.9.4~rc2-1_all.deb

Hello,

I have installed 0.5.2 on a new ALIX6b2. I use a standard Atheros card and a wireless modem. To support the wireless modem I had to compile the kernel with support for it - by following the description in the Wiki. It all went fine except that there were a lot of error when I installed the new kernel (using dpkg -i). The errors was due to missing locale for Perl and led to a non-working setup. I fixed it by replacing the soft links in the root for vmlinuz and initrd.img. My problem now is that the original kernel lacks support for my wireless modem and my new kernel has lost support for the Atheros card. When doing a diff of the output of 'lsmod' between the old and new kernels, I can see that the following modules are missing from the new kernel: ath_rate_sample, ath_pci, wlan & ath_hal.

I have rerun 'make menuconfig' and tried to find these modules but I simply can't find them. I am using these files:

http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.5/linux/linux-source-2.6.23-voyage_5.0-2_all.deb
http://www.voyage.hk/download/kernel_config/config-2.6.23-486-voyage_5.0-2

Any help is appreciated.

/Martin
