I have been trying to get my prism II card working on fedora core 4 for a while and have now just hit a wall. Need some linux guru help.
I have a standard install of fedora core 4. Using a Senao SL-2511 plus. On a standard installation it boots with the orinoco drivers. I want to use the wlan-ng drivers(linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0). So i downloaded the drivers. Tried to install them and had problems.
I then tried this
1 - install the kernel-source from Fedora
2 - make sure you have a symbolic link form /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux
3 - copy the config file corresponding to the kernel you're running from /usr/src/linux/configs/ to a file named .config in /usr/src/linux
4 - compile the kernel (2.6.12.1) (make/make modules_install/make bzImage/make install) and take a break (make can last a couple hours, especially if you're using you computer while it's compiling)
5 - reboot and chose the new kernel in GRUB (should be linuxcustom)
6 - and now you're ready for the install of the driver

This still gave me problems.
I then found this article and tried that solution. Including copying the modified pcmcia conf card.

Now im still getting errors such as:
/usr/src/newKernel/linux-2.6.12.1//include/asm/irq.h:16:25: error: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory
/usr/src/newKernel/linux-2.6.12.1//include/linux/irq.h:72: error: �NR_IRQS� undeclared here (not in a function)
In file included from ../include/wlan/wlan_compat.h:314,

Thankyou in advance for your help
