Thank You! I obtained ELDK 4.1 from Denx and built 2.6.27.8 with it. A couple host tool links were required but the build was pretty painless.

Ultimate goal I startedon early in the week was USB wi fi using the Linksys WUSB54GC, which requires the ralink rt73 driver.

The 2.6.27.8 menuconfig offered the "firmware" loading options I was looking for.

I now have a working USB wi fi device.

THANK YOU!

Questions:
1) if I want to cross-compile a kernel later than 2.6.24 to hopefully
get better WAN device support (and clearer options for fw loading),
which kernel should I try, and which toolchain?

the ltib repository does not appear to have a toolchain newer than
gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.6 (for 603e)

Admissions, disclaimers, etc
1) I'm using the same ltib script I have used for the 2.6.24 build with
toolchain gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.6 (for 603e).
I'm simply modifying the kernel spec file to use 2.6.28.1 (and specifyin
a custom toolchain).
I've also tried to compile 2.6.27.8. I get the same error.

Mike:

Denx's ELDK 4.1 or 4.2 make a great "It Just Works" solution. I've used 4.1
running from 2.6.23 up to 2.6.27.11 and 4.2 from 2.6.26 to 2.6.27.11 with
zero problems or issues.

Grant Erickson
