Re: [Gumstix-users] DOA netwifi-microSD board?

[John G. <jg...@wi...>]

Actually, I'm just not following directions.
the page http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Recompiling_the_Linux_Kernel explains 
where to CD to, and what to type to reconfigure the kernel.  I've managed to 
get the ethernet port recognized and it senses link beats.  Now I'm fighting 
with getting to to recognize packets.  It may be the DMA issue I've seen on 
this mailing list.
As for the "approved configuration", I found it in
gumstix-buildroot/target/device/Gumstix/verdex/linux.config

So, I think I'm back on track.  Haven't tried the wireless yet.  That's next.
