??? Newby, aircrack requires patched kernel drivers in order to function.

In that case, start learning the compile process.

_AND_ learn the unique tweeks that have been done to the DSL kernel.  They violated a lot of the "rules" in order to get a working stripped-down version.

I don't think John or Roberts will tell you what they did.  My best guess is it was a long, hard process of learning by trial and error.

In the real world, you're going to convince them to build the patches into the kernel, or not.  I suspect not.

I doubt that aircrack fits within their marketing plan.

http://dsl.thegeekery.com/archive/sources-2.1/ (Kernel sources + patches for the 2.4.31 kernel on DSL) -- Like almost all distributions, the kernel patches and config are available. (I have an even more stripped down kernel running on my computer, with only the drivers I need. However, it takes a few minutes of reading to work out which subsystems depend on each other.)

Building the 2.6 kernel he wants for aircrack himself may be a little more difficult though - it will likely be best to build the kernel on another machine, on a full sized distro, and then install it on his target machine.


--------------
System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.
