[Airo-linux-general] compiling for a Cisco 350

[Cory S. <co...@st...>]

Hello.  I'm new to the list.  I have a Cisco 350 PCI card and an 
external directional antenna comming in the mail, as a package I'm 
purchasing for high speed internet access.  Don't have the card yet, but 
I thought I'd get started on updating my kernel.  I've tried a 2.4.7 and 
2.4.17 kernel, and can't get the airo driver compiled statically into 
the kernel.  I can get it compiled as a module, but I'm not confident 
that it will work just because it compiled.  This is a desktop machine, 
but do I need pcmcia compiled into the kernel to make this work?  I'm 
just relying on the code that came with the kernels, should I patch the 
kernel with some other code?


Here's a snippit of the config file:

#
# Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)
#
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y
# CONFIG_STRIP is not set
# CONFIG_WAVELAN is not set
# CONFIG_ARLAN is not set
# CONFIG_AIRONET4500 is not set
# CONFIG_AIRONET4500_NONCS is not set
# CONFIG_AIRONET4500_PROC is not set
CONFIG_AIRO=y
# CONFIG_HERMES is not set
# CONFIG_PLX_HERMES is not set
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y

... and here's the error messages I got:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
