Wireless Extension version problem?
I have a Compaq R3000Z AMD64 3700+ running FC3 x86_64 and kernel 2.6.11-1.14.
I'm using ndiswrapper for the Broadcom wireless card, but I'm getting the following when I run iwconfig: Code:
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 iwconfig -v gives me the following: Code:
iwconfig Wireless-Tools version 27 Thanks, Jeff |
Your kernel is compiled with WE 17 and you need 18.
So what you should do is either 1) Patch your kernel source with a new WE 2) Or try a kernel that has WE 18. I am using kernel 2.6.11.7 and it only has v. 17 so I do not know if there is any kernel that has v. 18 actually, I would guess that you need to patch the kernel to get the new version. |
So.... how would I go about patching the kernel? Is it something I should even try if I'm no guru on the subject?

The extensions mismatch probably isn't it. Usually you can ignore that. Take a look at the ndiswrapper mailing list, there are a lot of issues right now running the windows driver (32-bit), with a kernel wrapper for a native 64-bit install.
