Hi everyone, I'm in the process of moving my laptop from 2.4.22 to 2.6.5 so that I can update the ACPI HOWTO (talk about glutten for punishment--I'm wrecking a perfectly good system just so that I can update my HOWTO).
The kernel compiled beautifully and with minor amounts of bashing I was able to get nVidia working again. At some point I'll go back through and recompile to take out all the stuff that I really don't need. In the mean time, I've got a few "gotchas" to solve. I think I'll be able to work things through ok, I just need to be pointed at TFMs so that I can read them. ;) Under 2.4.22 I had pcmcia as a hand rolled module. Now this is built into the kernel. When I boot into the new kernel I can't get my wireless to work. Under ifconfig I have lo and eth1 listed, but not eth0. My ifdown and ifup scripts complain that eth0 is not configured. The modules for my wireless card are loaded when I boot into the new kernel, but I can't ping the router. Does anyone have a brief set of instructions started on how to get wireless working in 2.6.5/x? thanks! emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]]
