Okay, just never heard of it being referred to as hybrid ;)

What's the exact errors on those paths?

To use menuconfig you'll need libncurses
I think you could use the given .config by using oldconfig

DSL does not use a hybrid kernel.
It uses a stock 2.4.26 kernel with only the standard Knoppix patch applied. The .config and the Knoppix patch are supplied in the kernelsource.dsl

The term 'hybrid' as related to DSL has been removed from my vocabulary

My apologies for my terminology.

Guess I'll be reading a bit more

How is the progress with the ipw2200 dsl?

Unfortuntately even in DSL-N which has the 2.6.X kernel that was compiled with ipw2200 support ... nobody is able to apply the firmware successfully.

Well,

I'm still fighting with it. I've read through the INSTALL docs, and there's mention of that the ieee80211 subsystem has to be installed. I've got the latest ieee80211-1.2.15 stuff but I think I may have to backtrack a bit to get something compatible with the 2.4.26 kernel. 'make' seems to go, but 'make install' seems to error out. I banging away at it, and I don't give up easy

I may take a run at DSL-N and see if I can figure things out from there and then go back to DSL. This is kind of uncharted territory for me, but if you don't try.........................
