Networking :: Verified Wireless Cards

Hi all, I'm trying to set up a system to act as a small wireless bridge and cannot seem to get the aironet 350 driver from cisco to compile correctly. Using the latest DSL, I have kernel 2.4.26, but the cisco driver info says it works with 2.4.18 and 2.4.20-28. Might this be the problem I am having?

As a side note, I think this distro is great, could someone tell me how they generally set up a dev system for porting stuff to it? Do you typically use a full Debian installed system and compile stuff then make sure it works ok on the DSL minimal install?

Thanks

Most myDSL extensions are precompiled Debian binaries.

However, it is possible to compile stuff on DSL once you have downloaded and installed the gcc1.dsl extension and any other libraries needed by the source program.

It is also easy to compile stuff for DSL from a KNOPPIX 3.4 (5-17-2004) system because DSL 0.8.x and 0.9.x are based from the KNOPPIX 3.4-5-17-2004 livecd.

I'm using a NetGear MA111 wireless USB Key and it works finel
