<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes, I already checked compat-wireless
project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>However, as you see from their page, they support
down to 2.6.24. As you remember from my 1st post, my kernel version is
2.6.12.5</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I also have RALINK and Realtek sources, however
they also need the kernel source tree to compile their modules, and my current
kernel also does not have enough header files to compile their source ( at least
ralink) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But anyway, I will try to find a way to communicate
with these people, and lets see if they can do a favour for a very old kernel (
2.6.12.5).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thank you again.</FONT></DIV>

<P>That is better approach.<BR>u can try compat-wireless. It supports wide
range of kernel version. What wifi are u using, ralink or others? Each wifi
has source, u can compile against ur kernel to build module. U need to enable
wireless support in ur kernel.</P>
