Hi.

I have a thinkpad t42 and I want to use WLAN.

How can I configure WLAN running DSL 2.2b?

The madwifi.dsl is compiled for the newer, now abandoned kernel.

Thanks to the forum in advance.

The older madwifi modules are already compiled into the 2.4.26 kernel. If you watch the verbage on bootup with your card pluggined in, you should see them load. You will need to use iwconfig in the DSLpanel to set it up.

The WLAN interface in a thinkpad t42 is a mini pci card I believe, so it's always plugged in.

I can "see" the adaptor if I run lspci.
How can I enable the interface and load the driver?
iwconfig is not showing this interface.


TIA

I'm not at my machine at the moment, but I believe you may want to modprobe ath_pci.o which is the primary driver with wlan.o as a dependancy. Here is the link to the discussion we had when we went to the 2.4.31 kernel:

You may also need to

ifconfig ath0 up
pump -i ath0

Also, Ndiswrapper worked for some Atheros based cards using the Windows 2000 driver or the one found on the Ndiswrapper developement site.

I have problem with serial mouse in COM1. Under Windows98SE working correctly. Under DSL (boot from CD) is visible only mouse cursor in centre screen but mouse no response.

DSL 2.2b.iso on PC Amd486-P75-133MHz, 64MB RAM, Genius mouse Dear in COM1.

'ls -l /dev/mouse'  = no such file or directory
'cat .xserverrc' = exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa -mouse /dev/ttyS0 -screen -1024x768x32 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>dev/null

Have You any idea ?
