Hello everyone, I have a couple of interconnected questions and they relate to getting my wireless working with Debian.
Details: I have a Netgear WG511 wireless card based on the Atheros chipset which uses madwifi drivers. Also I am running Debian on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite 2430-S255) Sarge with kernel 2.4.27-1-386. Now I previously had this card working in Ubuntu but there are some programs that I need, that will work only with a 2.4 kernel. Hence I had to switch to Debian. In order to install the madwifi drivers, I need to install the kernel-source. So I did an apt-get install kernel-source but it just downloads it. I am a relative newcomer to Debian so my questions are: 1. any simple readme page or set of instructions to compile the kernel source so that i can get the madwifi drivers installed? 2. is there another simpler way to get the wireless card working?
