OK, I followed the LanWave directions, compiled the kernel, applied patches to PCMCIA module, and her's what happened:
After make config (on PCMCIA package), There was a message about not having Xforms and some include stuff, but it said Configuration Successful. Toward the end of make install, there were some lines about 'module directory: /lib/modules/2.2.162.2.16 /pcmcia not found'. I thought 'oh well' and kept going. I added the suggested line in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and then did '/etc/init.d/pcmcia start' and got the same message: /lib/modules/2.2.162.2.16:binary operator expected /lib/modules/2.2.162.2.16 /pcmcia not found. There is in fact a /lib/modules/2.2.162.2.16 /pcmcia with a bunch of 'file.o' files in it (or something like that) on my system. I'm also wondering about this line at the end of the WaveLan instruction page: 'configure your network the standard way as you would do with an Ethernet device.' I have not had to configure an ethernet device when running Linux, so what would I do? Anyone know what's up? Josh.
