If you have compiled the kernel the Debian-Way with make-kpkg --append-to-version mykernel --revision1 --config menuconfig \ configure binary-arch You had gotten two paclages, the kernel-image and kernel-headers or make-kpkg --append-to-version mykernel --revision1 --config menuconfig \ configure binary to get kernel-source and kernel-doc too. Normaly it is enough to install the right Kernel-Headers to compile additional modules. Which mean you need: 1) kernel-headers FOR YOUR KERNEL 2) pcmcia-source because you need to recompile the whole stuff 3) THE PATCH > But the orinoco drivers are so popular that I'd think *somebody* must > have compiled versions of them somewhere... Do it your self Everybody which compiles the kernel self, need to compile the right pcmcia-cs modules too, which mean, no one can do it for you except you can give out the kernel-headers > ... anybody? > > - Joe > > -- > When freedom gives way to tyranny, it is not because tyranny comes > dressed as a wolf.
