Does anyone know how to make the hostap drivers work with the Fedora Network GUI (NEAT)? Normally I would create a line in /etc/modules.conf with a line that says alias wlan0 hostap_pci but this is not working for Fedora Core 2 Jason Parks Email: jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://www.rainydazeproductions.com web: http://www.innersanctum.org "When the moon is bright and clouds fill the sky, I'll be lurking about, sniffing your WiFi" -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Manuel Moreno Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 8:21 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y Fedora kernels have it enabled by default, no need to recompile, so just install kernel-source.*.*.rpm package that matches your running kernel (if not already installed) go to /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358 and copy the standard config as this... # cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358 # cp configs/kernel-2.6.5-i686.config .config then go to where you put the hostap driver... cd /wherever/is/hostap-driver-0.1.3 and edit the Makefile and find in the first lines one entry as shown and change it to the following ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Edit this path to match with your system (it should point to the root # directory of the Linux kernel source) KERNEL_PATH= /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now you can # make # make install and # insmod hostap... etc Please read the README file of the distribution for options, etc...
