[Madwifi-users] Trouble configuring CVS code into kernel 2.4.24

[Bryan K. W. <zx...@de...>]

I feel really stupid asking this, but I'm out of ideas.  I'm trying to
compile the latest madwifi code from CVS into a stock linux 2.4.24
kernel tree.  The problem is that I never get any Atheros options to
show up during make menuconfig.  Here is what I'm doing:

Note I'm currently running a 2.4.25 kernel and am trying to configure
a 2.4.24 kernel.

1) Unpack linux 2.4.24 tar file.
2) cd /usr/src/madwifi/patches/2.4 and run:
	sh install.sh /usr/src/linux-2.4.24
3) The patch job seems to go smoothly.  Here is what it spits out:

4) cd into /usr/src/linux-2.4.24
5) make menuconfig
6) Verify that CONFIG_PCI is turned on.
7) Turn on "Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)"

The problem is that none of the Atheros options ever show up.
I've dug through all of the kernel options several times trying to
find the Atheros stuff, but never find it.  I've even blown away the
2.4.24 source tree several times and repatching and running make
menuconfig again, but always the same results. 

I assume that there is some option in addition to the wireless lan stuff
that must be turned on for the Atheros options to appear, but I can't
find it.

Any help will be VERY APPRECIATED!!
Thanks,
