eth1 no wireless extensions - recompile kernel?

[bschwarting]

Hey,

When I run iwfconfig I get:

eth1 no wireless extentions

All the reading I have done points to recompiling the kernel with wireless support enabled in the kernel. That's great, if you know how to recompile the kernel with wireless support.

Can someone post detailed instructions on how to do this?

(enable wireless support in the kernel, recompile the kernel and in "Networking Support" enable "Wireless LAN")

Thanks!

no, take a look to ndiswrapper

Ok, I'll check that out.

What is the command to work with the .deb file?

 

[Chacalinc]

man dpkg

e.g.: dpkg --install some_file.deb

dpkg --contents some_file.deb

BTW, I guess you have Debian or some distro debian-based. Try:

[tt]apt-get install ndiswrapper-util[/tt]

Cheers.
