DSL's kernel ==>2.4.26
and knoppix 3.7 ==>2.4.27

it's possible to recompile the atmel drivers with knoppix
although the kernel was differents..

I used the atmelwlandriver 2.1.2.2 version. the newer versions seems not to work (at least on my mitac 5024 laptop). the driver is teh pcmf502re.o

Hi I'm really new to linux

I've got a 3com wireless card that I've identified as needing this atmel driver.

In really easy to understand noob steps, what do I need to do to add this to MyDSL ?

I've tried the make command, but it isn't found, I'm guessing I need the GNU utils.dsl so I'm getting that

I'd like the wireless to load at boot time, any help appreciated

i think you will need the gcc as well (i did it over knoppix 3.4 and copied the driver fiel to the dsl machine)

1. download the atmeldriver pack here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=59001
hte latest driver pack didnt work with my belkin so i took ver 2.1.2.2. an d this version should work with your card too

2. unpack the package and enter the the atmeldriver directory, there you put the command:
******************************
su
make config
******************************
it should appear like this:
******************************
Build all [y/N] : n
Set extra module version information [y/N] : n
Build Debug version [y/N] : n
Build USB Drivers [y/N] :
=> Build PCMCIA Drivers [y/N] :
Build PCMCIA rfmd Driver [y/N] :n
Build PCMCIA 3COM Driver [y/N] :y
=> Build PCMCIA rfmd revision d Driver [y/N] : n
=> Build PCMCIA rfmd revision e Driver [y/N] : n
Build PCMCIA 504 Driver [y/N] :n
Build miniPCI Driver [y/N] :n
Build applications [y/N] :n
***********************
The lines are different with the atmelversion but you should only install your 3com driver (usb or pcmcia whatever you have)

The you enter the command:
***********************
make clean
make all
make install
***********************
Then the driver should be installed and you can reboot your machine
After rebooting test if your card is there
*************************
su
iwconfig
************************
if your card appear type
********************
netcardconfig
********************
to setup the ip and the wlan configuration

Thanks I'll give that a go,

being really new to this, do I need to remaster the cd or something or can I specify something in the filelist that gets backed up otherwise it won't be there when I reboot will it ?

If I need to do that what should i do ?

by the look of it the file is in the net bind when it configures the card but it says it cannot find the file (ends .o) so it'snot on the Cd, so could I just build this, then copy the relevant .o file that's missing across and then include this in the backup file list ?

DSL is amazingly fast !
