Angry LTSP and diskless laptop with D-Link DWL-G122


I have successfully setup LTSP on my server and am able to connect with my Laptop via the NIC built-in.

This is all cool, but not really what I want.

The laptop is a Compaq Presario 1880 (PIII). Unfortunately the hard disk is knackered, so I thought I would use it as a thin client. As I mentioned above this works fine over a wired connection. What I really want is to be able to connect my laptop using a D-Link DWL-G122 USB Wireless NIC.

I have had the D-Link DWL-G122 setup on the server and all is well there. I used the RALINK native linux driver, as opposed to the ndiswrapper option. This works great.

I use a network boot ROM on floppy provided by rom-o-matic to kickstart the network connection to the DHCP server, get the kernel via the network etc...

I need to be able to kickstart the D-Link DWL-G122 to make the connection. How do I do this? I assume I have to build USB, wireless and the RALINK driver into the LTSP kernel, but being new to linux, I don't know how to do this.

There is a wireless package for LTSP (ltsp_wireless), but I don't think it supports UBS NIC.

By the way, I run Fedora Core 4 on the server ( which is also the DHCP server.)
All help will be greatly appreciated.
