Networking :: DSL 4.2.5, compiling Driver for Zydas zd1211

Hello, I`m happy.

I have wlan-Support with a Zydas zd1211

Code Sample

root@box:/home/dsl# iwlist scan lo        Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported eth0      Failed to read scan data : Argument list too long root@box:/home/dsl# ifconfig eth0 up root@box:/home/dsl# iwlist scan lo        Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported eth0      Failed to read scan data : Argument list too long root@box:/home/dsl# ifconfig eth0 down root@box:/home/dsl# ifconfig eth0 up   root@box:/home/dsl# iwlist scan lo        Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported eth0      Failed to read scan data : Argument list too long root@box:/home/dsl# iwconfig eth0 up Error : unrecognised wireless request "up" root@box:/home/dsl# iwconfig eth0   eth0      802.11b/g NIC  ESSID:"wlan1"           Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437GHz  Access Point: 00:15:0C:9E:C1:A3           Bit Rate:0kb/s           Retry:off   RTS thr=9999 B   Fragment thr:off         Encryption key:off         Power Management:off         Link Quality:90/100  Signal level:63/100  Noise level:0/100         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0         Tx excessive retries:260  Invalid misc:6   Missed beacon:0 root@box:/home/dsl# iwconfig eth0 essid wlan1 mode managed root@box:/home/dsl# pump -i eth0 root@box:/home/dsl#

Yesterday I have downloaded with my Second-PC in the same wlan area. Than "pump -i eth0" will not work.



 

Thank you andrewb and the other.

Edit:

I`m using the follow Extensions from DSL



The Kekernelsource-2.4.31.dsl is from Testing.

Code Sample

n Mydsl Extension, in Testing, there is a kernelsource-2.4.31.dsl This is the info file: --------------------------- Title:          kernelsource-2.4.31.dsl Description:    Kernelsource for DSL 4.x   Version:        1 Author:         Peter Misch - http://www.skripta.de/ Original-site:  ftp://ftp.oss.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/kernel/ Copying-policy: Whatever license my program uses (GPL, BSD, MIT, etc) -------------------==[ color=red Filesize=2,1 MB ]==------------------------------ Extension by:   pmisch - Peter Misch Comments:       This kernelsource is needed if you want to compile              kernelmodules for DSL 4.x - like wlan cards ....              It is heavily stripped down to minimize memory usage. Change-log: Current: 2007/12/08 - First Version

The Driver Binary ist from here:

http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/VendorDriver

Driver version 2.22.0.0

I have modified the makefile:


The Original Makefile from Package:

http://nopaste.info/2267adaee0.html

Line 23     KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.4  

-----I have--changed--to------>

 KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.31

Than you can compile the module.
