Networking :: ATMEL wireless pcmf502rd driver no longer n distro



The ATMEL wireless pcmf502rd driver is no longer in the DSL distro.  I've successfully used an earlier version of the distro that automatically recognized and loaded the driver for my wireless card.  All i had to do configure the WEP, etc.  The current distro recognizes my card and it's driver, and attempts to modprobe load it, and fails.  
I assume that the driver is missing on purpose???
How can I add this driver back into the current distro so that I can  use my wireless card?  
I currently boot DSL on my laptop from  cdrom -- for familial reasons, i have to keep the hardrive devoted to windows 98.
Thanks..
Hello,

If you tell me which driver it is, I'll be happy to remaster DSL for you and make it available to download (with your driver module included), and a 2.4.27 kernel if you wish, just let me know which driver it is and we'll get to work on it ;)

OTHERWISE, you can simply procure the driver, and you might be able to modprobe it from the command line without it actually being in the modules directory...

Let me know!
The missing driver is pcmf502rd.o --- part of the atmelwlandriver group of drivers for the atmel chipset.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/atmelwlandriver/
this distro -> Linux box 2.4.22-xfs #1 SMP Fr Sep 19 17:55:45 CEST i586 unknown
recognized and loaded the driver automatically.
Here is the lsmod for the working distro

I need this driver too but i dont know how i can install it please help me. I have the belkin F5D6020 ver.2 wlan card and in /etc/pcmcia/atmel.conf  there is the lind bind "pcmf502rd" but this file is missing in /lib/module/pcmcia/.....

can you give me a step by step solution? I have a working internet connection an the belkin wlan card is the second card beyond a working ethernet card.
If it was originally included, my advice would be to download KNOPPIX 3.4 dated 5-17-2004 and then copy the driver file over to you DSL installation.

Then make a *.dsl extension so that it can be re-used by others.
