My ultimate goal is to run patched versions of modules hermes, orinoco and orinoco_cs so I can run kismet or prismstumbler. I am presently running 2.4.26 that came with Sarge but Debian doesn't offer 2.4.26 kernel sources so I apt-got 2.4.27 kernel sources, did the configuration (including requesting the needed drivers) and recompiled the kernel. My present sub-goal is to simply run with unpatched drivers to prove that things are working before I patch them. I know the drivers get compiled ok since I can see them, eg hermes.o with a recent time stamp, in "/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27/drivers/net/wireless/", however they don't show up anywhere else and in particular they don't show up in or below "/lib/modules/2.4.27/" which is where I was expecting them. The compiled 2.4.27 boots ok but since the wireless related modules aren't in the right place the wireless card doesn't work.
In the past I have always compiled stuff directly into the kernel rather than using modules so although not new to recompiling the kernel I am new to using modules. Am I correct in assuming that ALL modules for the new version of the kernel should show up under "/lib/modules/2.4.27/"? I don't understand why some modules show up there (for example "/lib/modules/2.4.27/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o" is there just fine) while other (in particular the ones I am interested in) don't. Of course I could make symlinks manually but that sounds pretty clunky; I would rather do it right in the first place. Maybe there is some Debian page that explains this in lurid detail but several hours of looking through the Debian site and searching google didn't turn up anything useful. Anybody know what I am doing wrong? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
