I want to connect to a neighbour's network to use his adsl connection for large downloads.
I have a Usb Belkin Adaptor (F5D6050) which works fine in W2000, but I need it in Sarge with a 2.4 kernel that I shall some change to 2.6 one, and also in Sid with a 2.6.7 kernel.
I've been unable to find a newbie type howto showing, what are the kernel
requirements, what to put into /etc/networks/ and so on. At the moment I
seem unable to get either installation to recognize that the Adaptor is there
at all. 'wireless-tools' is installed but 'iwconfig' says no wireless extensions.
Both kernels are those with the installs (ie I've not yet done any recompile -
am waiting to see what is required). It does seem, however, that everything
except the kitchen sink is selected as a module.
I've spent hours in googling - there's a mass of information, but nothing at elementary level where I need to start. I think the driver I may require is the atmel at76c503 unless there's one already available in the kernels. I've ploughed through Jean Touttilhes' vast output and understand some of it, but not exactly where to start. There's much more, but no overall step by step.
A LUG group I often attend started to give me help, but that's now gone quiet.
Would someone please assist me if they have the time.
Thanks, John.
