Well, that's not exactly true.. make-kpkg will happily create an initrd for you. apt-get install kernel-package if you haven't already, it's a must when building a kernel on a debian system. > > I will try to find the driver and disable it before I compile > kernel-source-2.6.10.

I wasn't thinking quite right. You can edit your .config directly, I do it all the time. Just make sure to do a: make oldconfig afterwards.

However it wasn't clear to me that he was using make-kpkg, thus best to cover all bases. Dale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

powerbook, airport and kismet
So has anyone gotten kismet to work on a Powerbook, typical errors I get is "monitor mode" is invalid for my card. However, MacStumbler seems to work just fine in OS X. I'm using Ben H's latest stable kernel 2.4.22-pre4-ben0. -- Dale Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] /.-)
